Consultant experience
Pros: Salary above average; You get to work  on very complex interesting projects - that's why clients pay consultants, to take on the difficult projects they can't do themselves;
Cons: Expected to bill 45 hours plus travel every week - unfeasible with a family. Had to constantly find your own project within Deloitte. They would assign you to a project for which you were not qualified. It seemed to be run like a ponzy scheme - all the people at the bottom layer working 60+ hour weeks and travelling constantly to support multiple layers of management, many of whom seemed to have no function. Multiple well-dressed women stopped by my cube to find out "what I did" because I was always working on something and they did not seem to know what they were there for. As soon as I mentioned they take some computer science courses they disappeared (I am technical). I started to suspect these women were there as potential dates for all the guys who actually did do work. I got very weird vibes there - the strangest place I've ever worked and the most male-dominated.
