Honestly, we love a boomerang. Take the job, but make sure you don’t burn any bridges on the way out. Keep your relationships in case you want to come back. You might learn some valuable skills. 18% isn’t insane but I also can’t say I wouldn’t take it.

Great advice. Definitely not going to burn any bridges, just time for a change

Follow your heart. Ask yourself if this is what you enjoy. Everyone has different personalities, I enjoy boutique company a lot, it’s a lot easier for me to connect with everyone and anyone.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

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.
