More seniority, and maybe a little extra cash. End of the day I know a traveling forever isn't the life I want . Love what I do and the people I work with tho.

With you current move you'll be making less money. If non-travel job is a priority, you can consider local consulting firms.

Yes. Too soon. You will get bored of the stagnant life and would want to move back to consulting after 3-4 years. By that time it'd be too late. Self experience.

What would you achieve by staying longer and then leaving, higher $$ or more seniority?

How much longer before promotion? I mean do you really want to do travel for a couple more years. By that time you could already be promoted in industry

No

I'd advise to wait another 5 years or so. It will be time to get off the road when you are ready to start a family. That's when you jump ship.

SC, probably 2 more years until M

Do it

Boomerang and come back with a nice raise. On a side note, how have you been in consulting for 4+ years and only 25?

After you make manager* are you senior 1 or 2?

@ ey2 I was able to get into the boutique at 21, right out of undergrad after interning with them for a year. Then went to do my masters, sponsored by the boutique while I worked for them.

PSA: The grass is greener in a regional firm if you can lateral over as a partner. I lateralled over last year and my billable expectation is only 1700. I have my own clients and make about 100k (after bonus) more than I did as a senior associate. The upside is probably capped because top equity partners probably make 1.5 to 2 million here but it is all worth it for the WLB. I only take on what I want to do and I help out other partners only when I feel like it.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
