In Reply To: I'm 26, and I just recently took a job to get out of IT and Consulting in general. I went to work for Ernst&Young (now capgemini) right out of school. Accenture and the rest of the Big 5 or 4 or whatever the hell is left after mergers and name changes is all a bunch of smoke and mirrors bullshit. They add no value and IT Consulting has no future. The tech bubble has busted, enterprise software implementations are on a decline, and clients are a lot smarter. Accenture is brainwashing...from Associate partner all the way down to receptionists. If you want to do consulting, I would recommend applying to Bain or the Boston Consulting Group. If you are a computer science major, love technology, don't mind traveling, and are excited by testing writing and testing business software...IT Consulting is your paradise! Cheers fyi- i've made the jump to finance
