Anyone here work at Wellington Management and is willing to chat with me about a Data Science / Quant role? Recruiter reached out and I’m considering whether I should interview for it. Currently work at a Global Macro Desk of a MM hedge fund (think Millennium, Balyasny, Pt72) and looking to understand more about firm culture, investment process, career prospects to the extent possible and comp. Thanks!

Follow the money, you can always return to consulting

How do you even need advice? Facepalm
Can I ask what company is willing to pay that much for a program manager? Even $50k over my current salary to jump to industry would be very attractive for me.
$100k more? … take it
It’s 100k bro. Go and boomerang back if you must do consulting.
Just to clarify: take it
If you aren't interested, please send that job my way!
Me three.
First, congrats.
Second, you’d be insane not to take a 100k increase. Consulting will always be there to bounce back to if you end up hating the industry job.
Do you mean $10k more? If $100k then go.
Mate consulting sucks what are you doing.
Send my resume to that company?
This seems like a really easy decision
Take it then hire me at only 50k more I’m really affordable budget friendly

Take the money don’t even think about it.
Unless you’re already making $900k, go for it
Alternative perspective... $100k more doesn't matter if you hate it the whole time. I get the idea of liking consulting. As a Manager, you're not just executing functionally, but in the business of consulting. What firm? What kind of work do you do? There may be opportunities to make more and stay in an industry you enjoy.
Given the average lifespan of a consultant, it is far from certain you’ll always feel this way about consulting.
The 100k is certain. What’s also certain is you can always come back to consulting.
What isn’t certain is that you’ll ever have another opportunity to wake up tomorrow and have an extra 5-6k a month hitting your bank account (depending on tax rates and such).
Is this a trick Q? Is this posted by HR??
I mean, what would HR gain from this?
That is crazy money to forgo!
Just to clarify, the 100k is made up of higher base, yearly stock allocation and yearly bonus
Financial services lol

You know what to do. Take the offer and bring me along 🥺
You’d be crazy not to take it. Take it and if you don’t like it then come back to consulting.
Consulting will always be there and need warm bodies for fresh new death marches.
100k bumps in comp are ridiculous rare.
