I don't agree on the Advisory side. Many of the Partners either were very high up in industry and transferred in or could easily go the other direction. There are definitely many smart people who leave, but the mediocre ones don't "survive" to the top.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut.

My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
