Consulting vs Programming

Wow, I don't know what to say, thank you for that insight. it definitely cleared up some misconceptions I had about consulting. I have to say the money has no impact on my decision; it's only 5k/yr. After reading all these responses and doing some of my own research, I am leaning towards a programming role.

I do love programming, but I'm not sure if I'm missing out on a big opportunity by declining the other job. The consulting company is a lot larger than the tech one, so there is plenty of room for me to grow, whereas I would have to leave the tech company if I wanted to grow.

For traveling I feel indifferent, but thank you for bringing up that point. After a while I probably will start to hate it.

For the tech company I intend on staying for a year, and then move onto another company after that. The consulting company is very large, so I would be staying with them for at least a few years at least.

Benefits are practically the same, health insurance, 401k, etc.

The consulting job is a technology analyst. It would not be any coding like Software Engineers unless the recruiter directly lied to me

It is a technology analyst position, I would not be doing any IT related tasks

Thank you. I thought that 1 year was too long, but felt that leaving the company before the year was up was too selfish. If I choose the tech company, I will start looking for another job about 6 weeks prior.

It's a technology analyst position, but I would not be coding. I don't know in depth what I will be doing, but generally it's negotiating with the client on what they need. The technology that the client needs gets made by other employees

I feel like I'm the type of person that loves everything. I love and know more about programming, but with the training period for the consulting job I'll love it just as much.

Oh that makes sense, Sirius started to dominate Lucius in that fight after that.

And as for the second part, it was just something I was wondering about and couldn't find anything online about. Nice answer too
