Consultants are huge on training. There is mandatory training, elective training, hands-on training, and a whole myriad of other classifications. But basically, it means they ship you off somewhere for a week where you’re supposed to improve on your skills (whatever that may be) and perhaps learn a thing or two. Now unless it is a very specific area of expertise or technical training, all this really means is no work and free booze every night. No work and free booze?!?! it’s consulting heaven! And since most classes are structured around a theme, it is likely that other folks in your group will also have something in common with you. So you can mingle during team building exercises in the day, and party it up all night. And get paid. Can it get better than that?
