Thu, 26 Feb 2009 20:28:26 GMT http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/546407?answer_class=AnswerBase Richard, What kind of job are you looking for? http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/261601?answer_class=AnswerBase I am seeking my career home in consulting. Although I have been a trusted advisor consultant for fifteen years, none of that experience has been with a traditional management consulting firm. I am taking this opportunity to move into an industry that uniquely matches my approach to work and my lifestyle. I have elaborated on the thought process to arrive at this decision in several previous posts. Consulting will take me far from home, with long hours. It is a lifestyle far different from the one I enjoy now, but very similar to the one I left from my prior career with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and First Boston. I am looking forward to helping new clients solve their most complex, vexing problems.
