The uncertainty always made it difficult to work
I was much happier consulting, in general, when I was a W-2 contractor
The one good thing I’d say about Big 6 in those days - cost was almost never a problem - we made things happen - whatever it took - that was actually pretty good - I could jump on an airplane, grab a rental car, hotel in any city - everything was always taken care of - of course I was spending a fair amount of money on my corporate Diner’s Club card (for that time period)
All things must pass.
