Accenture sells AI transformation to thousands of clients while quietly telling its own employees they get a fraction of what some were already spending. The internal memo reveals a tension at the heart of every major consulting firm racing to profit from AI.
In my company some of the top users spend over $3000/m. $29 is maybe 30 mins - 1 hour continuous running for a *medium" sized model like Sonnet. Not sure about cheaper models.
I spent $200 in one session the other day, watching the clanker design, implement, and review the change. Still have no idea what I did but my name is on the commit
Sounds fulfilling.

I hate it of course. I need to find an exit strategy
Don’t pay the bill. They’ll force you to quit before long.
Fair point, but not any less fulfilling than my day job already was, arguably maybe a little more fun to be spending the company’s money on nonsense. My job pays my bills very adequately, that’s normally the only fulfilling thing about it.
Interesting. Yeah, me and my coworkers spend about $1000 per month—so far. The bill keeps going up. One AI workshop thing they made us do spent $100 just in 1 session.
