20 years of experience in financial services, was burnt out so wanted to “try” consulting in fin services. Low balled for no consulting experience upon hire so took $100k paycut. How to break back into industry after 3 year consulting pivot? Am a SM... making VP salary, with ED experience. Ugh. Cluster eff. What should be target salary for advisory asset management wealth focus work? So confused with this 2-3 year derailment. Can’t afford lifestyle like this decade setback in comp.

Can you go back to your previous employer at your old salary adjusted for inflation? Or target the same role and pay you had previously, but at a competitor? From there, you will be back on track.

I feel for you. Been there. I would network back into FS with your consulting skill set. They should pay premium to have you back.
