I'm totally with you on that, Andy. I'm an ex-PwC Consulting (IBM) gal and it was great for a while, but I tired of being a eunuch in a whorehouse. Was really squirming to get stuff done and own it, like you say. But the skills learned, for sure, are helpful now!

Interesting Mark. As I know you're also an Accenture guy from back in the day when we called it Andersen and raised hell in St. Charles, I wonder if in some respects sitting on the 'other side' is similar to that decision to stay or leave a big consulting firm like Accenture – it has its cache, and I got to work on interesting projects from ground up (eg iridium), but at the end of the day jumped into startupland b/c I wanted to own the success or failure of the business rather than advising a client. Of course some big differences from AC – pay, freedom to roam, and new interesting people/businesses passing through your door every day.
