As an engineer, I avoid management consultants, IT /change management consultants and accountants. and I know why I used to be one of them for a while. What a game.
It seems to me the weaker professional they are the quicker they make it to the above.
I remember many years ago a comment made by my young boss:
Why should I be paid more year on year if my job has not change? ie I am doing the same thing.
working for 5 years means 1 year experience multiplied by 5 times and not 5 year experience......capici?

The other day I met a friend of mine that just returned from a business trip in New Zealand. Somehow along the lines it came out of the discussion that a majority of large companies in NZ are now in foreign ownership mainly Australian and American.....Americans...
Being an employee in AU is better than in US (my view) more job security, less stress a better lifestyle all around.( education, medical etc .( With kids I would prefer AU)(Without kids and single: US - in places like south beach or daytona beach....hihihihih)
In business though I believe US...
Being self employed in AU is way better than being an employee in US.
Although I would like the US lifestyle up to a point though, the corporate politics is just to much.
anti - globalization movements clashes in Germany. I wonder why?

with your kind of attitude sure thing I would not like to work for you.
the problem with some employers is that they think they make you a favour by giving you a job. Most of the time in such cases turns out the job was no worth 2c in the first place......

the root cause is this: on a dollar to dollar basis/comparison and accomodating the exchange rate: the US engineers( in general) make more that everybody else (except maybe Japan). In addition the cost of living is apparently lower ( again on general basis). That suggest that the net...

I agree with Beggar 100% but mostly US CORPORATIONS embrace and champion globalization, that moves capital around, moves jobs around ( nobody really cares about employees) as shareholders can make more money. Yes, US companies move jobs away from other countries as well and not to USA. To give...
very interesting
from my experience the fast track line to promotion is usually for:
marketing people
finance/accounting people
and usually well ahead of engineers.
also I believe that the IE does not really applies to business owner or entreprenuer ( engineer)

cultural fit
team player skills
coomunication skills ( OOPS I made a spealing mistake!)
and all other highech language
