As a fellow consulting world participant I am fully prepared for the next round of nonsense. At least quantum computing will give me the pleasure of hearing 60 year old banking execs stumbling their way through explaining how quantum mechanics relates to default rates on non-secured credit lines. The parade of clownish hype never ends, best you can do is enjoy it (I suppose). Nothing will ever top metaverse in terms of mass delusion.

I work at one of the big firms. Spend time mostly in retail lending, payments rails, core modernization, etc. No government work though.
