If I move from working at a bank to consulting, would it be easy/difficult to move back to work at a bank Or NBFC in future?

How does one decide whether to move to consulting from industry? Or vice versa?

PS: I'm not talking about investment banking but jobs like data analytics or F&A at banks.

What type of consulting?

So from JDs I have seen, mainly the work at consulting firms like EXL, or BCG gamma is similar to what I do, which is, data analysis on banks' customers data... Just the difference is that these firms would be doing it for their clients while at my current job my employer is my client

Yeah you can, as I made that move for insurance sector. Key deciding factor should be and EXL will have advantage here,
1. Learning opportunities, as you are analysing more than one client
2. Data/ Digital solution awareness
3. Work culture
4. WLB

Few cons:
1. You will mostly be working in US / UK night shifts. Please clarify your shift timings before you join.
2. Role in IT or service based companies can be more of support functions, however EXL has a lot of client facing roles as well.
3. Going back wouldn’t be easier, as Indian banks or insurance prefer hiring from same sector. However it’s not impossible as IT/ Ops related roles are always open considering the digital opportunities banking space is generating.

I can think of these as major differences!
