I moved from industry to consulting as the progression wasn’t structured enough for my liking (only way to get a pay rise was to leave). Work in industry was a little more chill, we had freedom to explore and not feel like slaves to an SoW, and were more open about what we did/didn’t understand. This also made problem solving more effective generally at times and more interesting too.

Down to personal preferences really! A lot of people like the project lifecycle, regularly changing teams and customer service elements of consulting that can be difficult to get in ‘industry’ roles.

Hola everyone,
I have 1.5years of experience in Angular and recently i started looking for job opportunities. I was hoping that it will take 2-3 months at least to find a job opportunity and then when i serve 90 days notice period then I'll have around 2years of experience. But i got an offer letter in the first company i interviewed at and they are offering 80% hike.
I think i still have many things to learn and i can do it in my current company. Now should i accept that offer letter or reject

I'm curious how important it is to have a referral etc and what you'd recommend for applications opening in jan. Any advice is super appreciated I don't have any connections to the industry but it's something im interested in.
