Anyone ever move to an industry role out of true curiosity and or to broaden your experience and boomerang back? I just saw a job for around $150k, (Senior Program Manager) doing exactly what I do...

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)?

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??

Friday was complicated. So, I am going to break it down. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ) traded to the 9837 level, 32.75 points short of it's 50% HWB short. It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.
