Few things to consider OP. How significant is the bump? Are you happy where you are at and do you see yourself in consulting long term? Do you have a family? What’s your current WLB like?

Personally I would take it, $165k for a 9-5 job is a no brainer. You’ll have a life after work where you can be with your friends and family. A lot of folks on this app are stuck on the rat race, but you gota find a balance between work and life. I’m only saying this because I’ve spoken with several partners and the common theme of regrets is loss time with loved ones. A few were so stuck in the rat race that it lead to divorce. Just remember, the higher up you go in this business, the more sacrifices you’ll make.

If the industry job provides you with the intellectual challenge, room for growth in your responsibilities over time, and a good work/life balance I think this is a great move.

It’s all about what makes you happy. Will you be happy with the pay and job responsibilities? Also, I assume yearly raise in pay is minimal with industry.

If 9-5 or even 9-6, I think at 165k @ 27 is good. Yes, you don’t have an mba salary, but no, you’re not anywhere below or level with what the generally regarded “well off” 27-35 year old either.

Worth noting you could potentially return to consulting for a raise with that industry experience

165 isn’t an mba salary?

Thought that mba hires to industry make closer to 135 base (from top schools)

This is very high and well off the normal. Managers at Big4 with 10-15 years might not even make this.

Agree with Ey1. I'd jump, esp. Since its a raise for you!

Do you have to relocate or is this also in t2 city?
