Expert Networks are a tough and honestly unpleasant industry to work in. Hyper competitive both internally and amongst competitions, ludicrous requests from clients on unrealistic timelines, and management internally that encourages borderline harassment of the experts within the network. These things all come together to make the overall industry just a pain to work in.
They use a lot of buzzwords aka Knowledge economy to make you feel like you are doing some amazing thing for the world where in reality, you work at a call center to find ways to convince industry professionals to take time out of their day to help your clients when there is no guarantee they will get picked for the project or canceled on 5 minutes before a call is meant to take place.
