2) Raises were non-existent for most during the 2004-2014 timeframe for most
3) Individual experiences vary WIDELY from business unit to business unit
4) In consulting, it's rare to be able to have downtime to take courses; if you're on the beach long enough to take a course, you might find yourself on the unemployment line
5) Great investments have been made to offshore jobs; if a company can hire 12 people at a cost of one person, it's considered a positive if managed correctly
