    I found working times most agreeable. However I was instructed that I was not to challenge their ill informed and dangerous decisions, so we parted as friends after six months.

    Andersen's and accenture are quite different beasties. I've had the fun of working at an Accenture managed site before - thankfully working directly for the client. They might have had some merit in their former incarnation, but nowadays it's somewhat other.

    I'm not doomed... but I fear the client might be! I mean, switching to a single supplier has never caused any problems down the line.

    It'll keep the moron of this forum, which is a plus!

    There's a rumour that Suity is senior PM...

    I did a couple of gigs where Andersen's were involved, they were pretty good. It was 30 years ago.

    Another layer of management? Sounds like a recipe for success.
