I have moved from Industry to consulting and I regret it everyday 😔🤣

I left because grass is greener on the other side. But, now I know “The grass is always greener near the septic tank”. Would take a good role in industry over editing of footnotes anyday !

Have done it vice versa. And can definitely say that exposure you get in consulting is an all round thing. However in industry, you become a master of only one skill and then switching across later becomes a task!

Fully agree. A stint in consulting after industry is definitely rewarding. But I've seen career consultants wishing they had some industry experience. Grass greener.

Spent 4 years in industry, then did MBA and got into Consulting. Enjoying every bit of it here. In industry, scope of learning and exposure is specific to an area and switching firms can be an issue. I'd pick Consulting any day.

Agree but they hire people from less than that. If you are getting at any point of time in your career, just move. That's what I would say.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

I spent a year in tax investigations where I believe I was thriving ( I was going to be an assistant manager in July 2023), I had a lot of assistant manager jobs, I even drafted a Code 9 report to HMRC which my manager said was 80% of an actual report, he then added the 20% and submitted it.
After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
