Chose F250 D over PL lateral at bcg. Am i insane for feeling like i missed out and wanting to see if they’ll take me back?

WLB and pay are better here and it’s chill but little else has panned out from the offer. Im working as an IC, projects have little to zero support from senior mgmt, may not even get bonus because my role keeps being shifted beyond my control (but targets haven’t changed).

Love some people here, but idk if I’m growing or how strong network is, esp outside this industry

That's pretty typically. F100 Ds are sometimes 0-8 direct reports

I went PL BCG -> tech -> VP F100. Thankfully in a BU strategy role where I impacted P&L.

45-50 hour weeks, lots of control but still impacted by big company politics. Directions can shift, budget can disappear. Most days are about managing people.

As a D, typically you're in the final execution mode and just able to share in strategy making. My advice, find the VPs leaning hard into doing new stuff and offer off hour support. That will get you known and to the next level

Just remember that battle is the same from consulting days. Just the partner did them to sell the work

I’m sure the door would still be open, but I don’t think it’s a given that you’d love the decision to lateral.

And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.
