Hi,
Currently at 22 CTC at a big 4 in management consulting. Just joined from campus . Currently have an opportunity for 31 CTC FMCG org but a non consulting role.

What would you suggest keeping in mind the growth potential at big4 vs FMCG?

Join FMCG! Big 4 is toxic with no wlb.

Ideally you should stay for 1-2 years if this is your first job. If consulting is not your cup of tea, then choose FMCG

If Sales think hard

Nah not sales

Growth in consulting is exponential both in terms of designation and salary.
While Industry is pretty stagnant in that way esp at middle management level.
Having said that consulting will suck the soul out of you and FMCG will give you better WLB, so it’s more dependent on what you want and where do you see yourself

Your designation assumption may be true but tbh salary part is absolutely false. Industry is paying as good as consulting now a days for almost every work experience. Only exception can be MBB front end entities, so if you are in any other consulting- you are definitely either underpaid or paid the same as industry with worst wlb and no family & friends.

Take FMCG consulting is for losers no life no wife

What role you got at fmcg?

Also, sounds like a good offer.
Go for it.

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?
