Any insights on what life in industry is like vs consulting? Anyone that has made the transition to industry (preferably in BD role) - any advice on what consulting skills are most transferable? Or what skills I would need to seek out prior to making the transition?

I'd say most skills in consulting are transferable. My day to day individual work is similar to consulting but have a lot more meetings with other departments and have a lot more people to bring to the same page with.

I am currently a financial analyst and have been for the last 2 years, but do not see myself continuing in the role. I thrive in social, competitive, and cutthroat environments which is why I think sales is perfect for me. I have a passion for finance and tech.

Now that aside, their LinkedIn posts everyone at VP SVP levels are joining.. seems like they are growing very fast, as hiring at such high Positions happens only that time.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????
