I'm currently in industry corp dev, jumped from consulting. I don't miss the actual consulting day to day but definitely miss the idea of hitting a refresh button every now and then by client hopping
Consulting you spend so much time doing non value add work, wasting many cycles tweaking deliverables where the changes have very little incremental value add, and making 180 degree updates to recommendations at the whim of a partner who likely is way less knowledgeable than you realize. I'll never miss the fact that 60% of the time was wasted doing content reviews, pre meetings, post meeting debriefs, and being a glorified call center rep doing expert calls
WLB is good in industry but you feel like you're working with a B or C team most of the time, and folks don't have the same sense of urgency. Ideas take longer to action on, decisions are over "consensus" driven where you may have to solicit buy in from multiple tenured jokers who failed upwards, entrenched employees have less appetite to change their ways, it can get tiresome when you're dealing with the same stakeholders day in day out, and if you're dealing with weak executive sponsors then you're stuck with them for a long time
pros and cons for both but I'm not going back to consulting
hardware and software for manufacturing, think rockwell automation but we're a lot smaller
For context - I’ve been many years in Consulting doing pre-deal work (strategy, FDD, ODD, CDD), and have loved every minute of it. I do need a change in my work/life balance though, and before start applying to Industry jobs, would like to understand if the grass is actually greener on the other side… appreciate any input!
Same title, but my promo got delayed by a year. You can try and go for early promo, but I preferred to get acclimated when I transferred.
I was in consulting for 6 years, PE for 3 and then back to consulting for 2. Exited to industry in Feb and will never go back to consulting. I’m making significantly more between equity and a much higher base, no one micro manages my time, and I know exactly who has the power to promote or fire me. It’s oddly relaxing
Can you define what you kean by industry
Still in Consulting but looking at our clients the grass is not greener on the other side. But I guess it very much depends on the company as always.
