I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Consulting is great for learning and networking, but with salaries flat and workloads increasing, I’m wondering if the trade-off is still worth it. If firms don’t adjust comp or work-life balance, I see more people jumping ship to industry roles with similar pay but way less burnout.

As long as one can find a comparable Industry job.
