Spent 7 years in industry. back in consulting now and glad to be back.
Once a consultant, always a consultant. Corporate life is stifling and easy to get pidgeon holed.
Consulting is much more fun and exciting.

I left consulting less than a year ago but so far can’t imagine going back. It’s so easy to impress people in industry. I left for a ~$25k total comp bump and already got promoted into a new role and got an additional $36k bump. And I work 40 hours a week.

On this project, and most often even as a SA.

D1, I agree with everything you said, except promotions can be harder if it is a long tenure company.
Beware getting wrapped up in the red tape. You'll find making real change can be frustrating company

D1 - Total comp?

$260k expected comp. Max is $310k. Don’t get me wrong there are definitely frustrations that come along with industry that don’t exist in consulting. But in my case the ROI is insanely better and I actually like the work.

That’s great comp - and hey, if you wanted, you could pursue your own entrepreneurial route on the side too (real estate or other) because you have TIME

D1 - What level were you at in Consulting before moving over?

Would you guys have left for a lower salary (-$20K)?
