Currently a Sr. Manager at a Fortune 5 w/5 direct reports. TC is $160k/yr in MCOL. MBA. 7 YOE. Been out of the consulting world for the last 2 years (Left Big4). Fully remote. I miss the urgency and variability of consulting - thinking about getting back into the game. Worth the transition, or am I not thinking straight after a depressing Monday?

Don’t do it

Happy to swap my job with you. 😂

funny

Don’t do it. I made the return trip and it was neither as good nor as long as I’d hoped.

Back in industry - just go find a new company. Preferably smaller and younger than cvs

smart

Money-wise you’d make more in consulting but WLB will take a big hit and you likely won’t be managing people directly at first

And you’ll be doing the sort of workload where you wish you had some help

likefunny

No, you’ll regret it. If you want variability and fast pace, try different role in the same company

Move to a tech firm, the jump is easier from cvs to tech. Most of the tech firms are good with remote work. Is your worry just about the work or also about TC?

What’s your base? What line of work ?

160 is low for 7 YOE, even at big 4. That being said your life sounds chill.

I know many consultants most likely make more. Any one else feel this way or have any thoughts? I was thinking of looking for a different J1 and slowly try to climb up if possible.
