Client is a company I’ve previously admired and wanted to work for. They really like me and outwardly express how much value I bring to the team. After working with them for X amount of time I have determined it would be a great fit and Would be ready to go back to industry by the time I am rolling off. Where do I go from there?

Given your time working there I’d say you have a lay of the land on the players. I’d reach out to someone lower level you’ve directly worked with and can vouch for your work who could point you in the upper ranks. That person could help start the conversation.

That’s a great question, wfh has made certain conversations that typically come across naturally be a bit more forced.

When you roll off I would mention in conversation how working on their engagement has made you reevaluate your future in consulting and how the industry is the right fit for you. Assuming they are someone with staffing responsibilities they’ll get the hint and if they don’t ask you (since it seems like they haven’t asked you yet) then they probably don’t want you. It has worked for me in the past but others prefer to be more direct.

Been with Big Four advisory (GRC) for 10 years. Really tired of meaningless “consulting” and commoditized implementations. Recently been through a rough job search and finally landed an offer with a mid size bank in their risk practice. People say that the culture there is quite political and bitter but I’ll learn a heck lot and get a new opening on my resume. Salary is the same. The other option is to take a consulting job that pays me 50k more but do the same work! Thoughts? Thanks!
