Does having too much consulting experience in your resume make it harder to exit into industry? I was at Deloitte, now Accenture. Wondering if I go to another consulting firm, down the line it might be harder? Or am I thinking dumb

Nah, experience is still relevant and translatable IMO. Perk to consulting is you're forced to stay in the "know". Only problem you may run in to is that you'll be an expensive hire unless you hit FAANG/Microsoft/Salesforce etc.

I think this is the bigger factor. There are way fewer $200-$300k+ jobs than there are $100k jobs.

I do think there is an optimum experience level to move to the industry.
The higher you move up the ladder, the less number of positions there are + the more real industry line-experience matters, to credibly manage a team. This makes it harder to essentially move up when exiting to industry.
Imo Sr Consultant - Manager is the best level to jump.

Nr of brands will not really have an impact, unless you’re moving every 6 months (but that’s regardless of consulting or industry)

Makes sense!

Move before you make partner. And if you make partner, that's also quite OK for your career, so there's not a high risk of really bad decisions
