[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are spreadsheet monkeys typically crunching numbers in excel so mid-level managers and VPs can manipulate data in order for senior level principals to create expert reports and testify that huge corporations that knowingly polluted water sources, inflated consumer pharmaceutical costs by 900% for end users, or ripped off a small entrepreneur’s patents win lawsuits brought against them. It is largely soulless, mind boggling tedious and boring work. You’ll work for geeky PhD economists who exact revenge from their school day bullying on anyone of a lower rank, and scumbag clients who don’t care how many people have died due to their vehicles’ defective airbags so long as you can determine through leaked patient records that there were other underlying conditions (asthma, eczema) that lead to their death other than fiery car crashes). You’ll get paid decently (salary, no OT though 25 to 30% of your hours will be strict OT) but you’ll work nights. You’ll work weekends. You’ll work during the hour between your mom’s funeral and the wake. You’ll work on your wedding day and during 30% of your honeymoon. Ask me how I know.[/quote]
