Exited to industry and feel as growth is limited - is it a bad idea to boomerang to consulting and then exit again at a higher level? I see 5-7 yoe exits and they seem to be the people who get high visibility roles with great compensation

Boomerang and career do not go hand in hand. Unless you dream of being a prop in a Mad Max film

At what experience did you leave?

2.5 yoe. I couldn’t stand my group and team so staying there would have been tough

Did exactly that. Left as senior, worked for a year, boomeranged back at S3 to push for manager promote.

Spend a few more years in industry (preferably moving across units) to get hands on experience with whichever area within an organization you'd like to help when you boomerang back.

I have seen people with 5-6 years of industry experience moving much faster through the ranks than career consultants. Instead of trying to land back at a grade above, get the skills that will continue to differentiate you with your colleagues at any rank for years to come.

Once you boomerang back, you're capped. You'll be known as someone who is flighty. It'll definitely hold you back in the next few promotion rounds. Only do this when you've got some serious weight behind you.
