Hi everyone, I’m in a medium size consulting firm started working since Oct 2021. I’m wondering is it good to jump to industry for my next move or move up in the consulting world to polish my resume better with MBB or Big 4 in my resume… any thoughts? I really don’t know what to do in life so either one works for me, but I’m just lost.

It sounds like you want to be in industry rather than consulting, so I’d say make the move if you find a good fit. However, for your resume, if you want a big lift from consulting, it matters more that you get at least 2-3 years at MBB, big 4, or where you are.

Thank you! I wanted to eventually move to industry for better WLB but I’m afraid with my current company and title it’s not enough if I wanted to go to top tech firms, that’s why I’m thinking of jumping to top tier firms in consulting, but just indecisive lol

Apply to both and see if anything falls in place.

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)
