You can DM me. I left consulting to go to industry as manager in Retail/CPG. Your offer sadly isn’t super low for F500.

2 years at BCG after an MBA - I’m sure you’re around at least 220k all in? doesn’t sound right - unless you’re in Europe?

Are you in the US? If yes that number seems wildly off base if you are 2 years post mba at BCG in a client facing management consulting role.

Salary is low, but you will have wlb. I came from Industry and used to work less than 5 hours daily.
