Yes, forgot to cite my source. Been there, done that, got the suits. It depends on what track you choose and what projects you get on, amongst many other things. There are plenty of talented people (at least to begin with) but they tend to get masked by people who would be better suited as contestants on the apprentice. If you go into consulting and you're even vaguely technical (can write simple software) then you will be very frustrated and will probably end up teaching the start group courses. If you're happy to have your non-technical manager take credit for your work then go for it. Solutions is more technical but doesn't pay as well. If you're the sort of person that reads HN (which you obviously are) then it is unlikely to be a good cultural fit for you. Swombat also has experience but I don't know if he'll chip in.
