You just joined right ???
Never being a consultant before, right ???
Listen to me.
IT consultants from JR to Sr Consultant should wear:
- Smart watches
- Less than 1000 USD price of the real equivalent
- No bling or fancy watches
- no quartz watches
IT consultants from Mgr to Principal / Director and Partner level should wear:
- Smart watches
- Not Less than 2500 USD price of the real equivalent
- No bling or fancy watches
- no quartz watches
Antything else will either look fake (very bad if you are a consultant) or too expensive .... and therefore would tightdly linked and related to the seniority and expertise of the person.
If and when I see an IT Consultant (jr to sr level) with a 5000 USD PAM or equivalent I can only think these:
-Daddys rich boy (his/her salary cannot pay that watch)
-Fake watch (bad start)
-These guys they charge extremely high tarrifes and they add no value (due to less seniority). (better look somewhere else for IT advise).
On the above you have to add the environment too.
Is not the same working for Acc or ATK or EDS or ATOS or IBM Services. etc.... each one is diferrent.
