I F*ing hate my job. I m a consultant at KPMG and all we do is create powerpoints the whole day! It’s such a waste of time that I can’t believe companies pay these people for this sh*t. I can literally feel my brain cells dying. WLB is terrible too, imagine doing designing powerpoints from 8 am to 8 pm.

I’m 23 and an Ivy League grad. I really regret not studying comp sci. I feel lost and stuck. Seeing the TCs on Blind is not helping either.

I have another job offer from a top company (MBB) and am quitting in a few months, but it s still in the consulting field. Everyone tells me to get an MBA, but I’m not sure if I really like working at corporations as someone on the business side of things.

  • So no big deal then. Learn how to write code by spending a few $100 on books and courses. Then switch jobs and industries if you like. You are early career so this consulting phase will let you see a bunch of business close up to help you in future jobs.

    If you think you will like CS, it is mot late at all to start studying it and switch to a developer position. Good luck!!!

    I feel you. I work for KPMG too and hate it. Thankfully for me I got placed on the tech side. They told me I would be doing I would be doing product but they never placed me on it. Instead they placed me on data entry for 6 months..

    Also they are underpaying you. I started at KPMG at 77k and with the mid-year bump, I'm getting paid 80k.

      OP
      I d say that I m in a HCOL place too. I tried negotiating my salary when I first started but HR was pretty adamant about it. She either really low balled me or west coast vs east coast makes a 10k difference… They said i was a hire straight out of college with no prior work experience and she couldn’t negotiate the salary for me.

      That’s what they said to me too. I wish I took the other product role that I got offered. I’m shocked the difference was so high
