Does the first job after transitioning out of Consulting have a high chance to be short-lived? That hovers over my mind quite a bit about 8 months after I left consulting and took up an in-house role

Interesting. 8+ yrs in Cons here, dying to transition out after I've taken my parental leave. I'm bad at asking the difficult probing questions during interviews and scared that in industry I'd end up in a team I hate with little manoeuvrability.

Don’t stress it. You can always move on after a year or two.

How do you know if/when it's time to switch careers?
My current job has a solid progression to make more money, but it takes years to get there. I make about $70k right now. As a data engineer/analyst. Primarily work on the engineering side, but I went to school for analytics. I never saw myself doing the engineering role, but when I first took it, it was a great start to my career.

I was offered a new position mainly in management in a completely different industry for $100k and bonuses.

Why do so many people in FDD hype up FP&A exit opportunities? It seems like: 1) most of those opportunities would’ve been available for high performers coming out of audit; 2) financial reporting managers (and higher) make the same, if not more, than people in FP&A; 3) FP&A is not “FIH-nance” - it’s glorified accounting that is somewhat forward-looking but ultimately isn’t that much more interesting than debits and credits. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I can’t take a sabbatical and still be employed because I already took time off for health reasons.
