Does industry client base impact salary/is experience in certain industries valued more?
I’m currently doing public sector and defence consulting but find it very chill yet still good money and would like to push myself. Will this background make it difficult to progress/apply to other firms?

Does it limit your prospects or pay in consulting? No.

Does it limit your prospects or pay if you were to leaving consulting? Yes. Pay is not the same across industries.

Thanks I’d love to!

Within consulting, you can find a place to make competitive money in any industry alignment, but some will be easier than others. Horizontal can be just as important as vertical.

It's when you have consulting to the client industry that pay is harder to stay competitive. Not all industries pay business talent as well as consulting does. Some pay better.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

What if you are promoted and now got to know that you are selected in one of the job opportunities you were trying earlier. Its a perfect opportunity to come out of consulting and you have been waiting for a long time to get it..very challenging profile although compensation could be marginally lower. Wouldn't it be ethically wrong to leave the Company just after promotion and payhike. But it's like missing such a huge opportunity!
