i'd go for it - if you're good at it - there's a lot of money to be made should you make it to the top of the firm.

if you suck at it you waste 2 years of you life or so..mehhh

The only thing that I have ever heard is that you will be based out of a city, but have to fly to different locations M-F, where ever the current account is located.

They will fly you home every weekend.

And I don't know if this is always true.

You will get paid very well, but the hours are exhausting.

At very least, it's worth doing for a couple of years and then quitting to do something else. Sometimes, clients will just hire the consultants to get their skills while cutting out the middle man.

upside: tons of frequent flier miles, no expenses during the week
downside: away from home living out of a suitcase, getting a project in omaha, nebraska to be followed by bumfuck, idaho

you can save a lot of money doing consulting. had i not spend 5 years in the military with an unstable lifestyle, i would have done it out of my MBA program. you will have to get an MBA after a few years of work (3-5 usually) if you want to keep moving up in the company

I work for EY...a lot more flexible I hear than D&T. Most people that graduated with me from the MAC program have since left and very few have left EY.

I know someone who graduated from the MAC program last year and is with deloitte and touche...she likes it and has been there almost a year...travels sometimes but not much

i didn't. generally in firms that big you are stuck auditing only a few areas of the balance sheet. i'm a personal advocate of the middle tier firms (grant thornton and such) as you generally get much more face time with executives....means good contacts

oh right. i forgot about d&t. i'm sure they're a great firm, i've just heard bad things about the raleigh office.....

I have a cousin that is working for them out of Greenville, SC and he works a shitload of hours. I think that he is making bank, but working for it. Something like 60-70 hours a week.
