Which industry are you currently in?
I'm looking to pivot from consulting to industry and am targeting corporate strategy roles.

Would you mind sharing a bit more about your experience—specifically around career progression, work-life balance, pace of work, internal politics, and anything else you particularly like or dislike?

Thank you so much :)

Thank you. However, I’m unable to send you a DM—it says the user is not available for chat. Would you mind sending me a DM?

What is missing in your life that you want to return to the pain cave?
I did PE CDD consulting for 5 years and left for an exec role at a portco. Life has never been better.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
