In general, the staff in "Services" are more experienced and have a stronger skillset than the younger, less experienced, kids in the IT "consulting" practice. Yet, they are treated by the IT "consulting" staff as 2nd class.
Unlike IT "consulting", people in "services" have to work without a net. They have to know what they are doing. The managers there are real managers, in the dictionary sense of the word. They don't have to depend on the step-by-step instruction book to tell them what to do in every situation and how to speak or walk. If the ACN intranet went down, and they can't get to the KX for some template or for some explanation of how a similar project was performed, they don't panic. They have the experience.
Yet, ironically, they are considered less experienced and looked down upon by their less experienced and less skilled counterparts over in IT "consulting." The good news is that, being more experienced and mature, they don't care what those kids over in IT "consulting" think.
Now, if they would only pay the services folks a little more money, that would square things up a bit. |

There is a great disparity between skill and experience required in some jobs and the reward given compared to other jobs.
Consulting is a good start to a career, but ultimately it's not a long term way of living your life is it? You can probably last a bit longer in services.
