Accenture particularly has had a reputation of taking wet behind the ears consultants straight out of Uni and charging 4 figures for creating pretty presentations for the days of being Andersen Consulting and before.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

3 days' chargeout was roughly equivalent to a month's take home pay.
And the buggers didn't give me a company car.
The twats even complained about my expenses.
Not surprisingly I was soon offered a job at a client. Nearly double the pay and a Beemer for a company car, but the experience already had me planning to go independant when the time was right.Comment
