Why are you only at Sr. Consultant level after working so many years? In these cases, I would challenge the resource to look inward. I worked with a manager who recently left the firm because she had been there for 13 years and was not moving up. Hello? Sorry, but if in 13 years the furthest you can get is manager, then consulting is just not for you. And she was, in fact, justifiably sub-par. Yet she too thought she was "screwed". Couldn't understand why everyone around her kept moving up.
You are not getting "screwed", per se, you may just be in the wrong profession. For your level -- Consultant -- $70s is not bad. For your experience -- well, you should be at a higher level.
I would be surprised if you are at that level after so many years simply because you are "being screwed". There is probably a reason. I don't know your situation, so you may be the exception to the rule... but honestly evaluate if you are working to the level that someone with your experience should be. |

My guess buddy actually has some self respect and is a rockstar.
The only problem is he doesn't shmooze and drop to his knees for ever Sr. Manager and MD to walk around.
That still seems the best way to move up at BE. Loose your self respect, tie yourself to one MD and do all their work. Meanwhile the MD goes golfing and has fun dating young BA's. Don't forget to stroke, stroke, stroke those fragile HUGE egos that all MD's and Sr. Manager have.
BE has zero ability to see true talent. It's a morally bankrupt company from the CXO's, all the way to the bottom.
BE will get it comeuppins soon though. While I don't feel bad for the 80% of the dirtbags there, I do feel bad for the other 20% of the ohnest BE employees that will get the megashaft.
