But I thought in industry I could make way more money than consulting and only work 40 hours and all my life problems would go away? Is Fishbowl all a lie?????????

I went from Big 4, midtier, back to Big 4, now banking industry. Going to industry has been really really hard. There are many inspector dimwits. It’s like you used to run the 100m sprint and you were a finely tuned athlete. And you quit and gained weight and now watch people play video game online. Once a consultant, always a consultant
