If you are young, single with no ties and on a good rate (see previous posts concerning overtime), or late career and being ridiculously overpaid for "gravitas", I would say go for it.
IMO it's more satisfying to be client-side on multi-vendor teams opposing the consultancies / "keeping them honest".

I was with Deloitte, outside, very good rates. But they expected me to attend Agile standup once in the morning and once in the evening . Right from day one declined evening 'standups'. Walked away giving 10 minutes notice within 3 months. There's no culture, team work etc. You will be just a resource, a number that's all.

Worked for Deloitte at a government account, was easiest job ever, outside IR35, basically doing nothing (it was government) got £650 per day and found out they charged £1650 per day for me. Next time I'll ask more.Comment
