2 yrs back, left as an Engagament Manager with one of the MBB for an in-house role at a 15% hike. Average week now is 45-50 hrs

I am feeling demotivated because of the slow growth, red tape and lack of performance-led culture. People and work is good.

Now, another MBB firm has reached out for a Principal role, confused if I could manage the long hours again, but at the same time this snail-pace is making me lose my shit.

Any advice from ex-consultant at similar stage is welcome?

Yeah, I am trying to evaluate another option else feels like it was the case of greener grass back in consulting days that made me shift :/. Would possible move back.

Try it out again - if you last a year or two then great otherwise leave again - no harm tbh

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
