Found a opportunity in industry and want to take it however, I haven’t crossed the 1 year mark at my current firm. If I were to want to return to Consulting sometime down the line, would that be a problem? Post-mba consultant, if it makes any difference.

I think it depends on your goals. If you want to come back and be a generalist consultant then not even having one year would not look so good. But if you’re going into industry and working in industry for a few years, you’ll you’ll probably want to be an industry-focused experienced hire anyways. In that scenario it would probably be fine

Yep, I’m an focused on Tech Strategy right now at my firm. So, if I were to come back to consulting, it would be to those jobs.

lol no you're fine go jump

Fast forward I noticed that I was eventually handed everyone’s workload (AR & imports & duty and check coworker work + AP) Spoke to them about pay increase based on workload. So they raised it to 55k.. but I still feel underpaid based on the amt of work I do. I don’t know what my title or what to put on resume..
