Advice needed: potentially leaving big 4 consulting for either a boutique strategy firm that does some really cool work, or a product manager /digital role for a finance company. Any considerations on exit ops after these different paths?

Seem like pretty divergent paths but both sound awesome. Good luck!

Would take the PM role, more stable. Probably better hours too.

Majority of my department has been informed we will need to look for other positions internally due to our jobs being outsourced. The timeframe for the full transition of all work to the vendors is approximately 6 months. This is the second time in 14 months I have had to look for another position due to outsourcing of work. Since I can only work remotely for my company due to location, is it best to resign or to hold out in hopes for a transition to another department?
