Hi all, I just got a job offer at PwC for a senior consultant position. The salary is 30% above my total comp right now, but I’m just worried about the amount of work I will have to put in compared to my amazing work life balance now. Does anyone have any experience moving from industry to consulting? I need some advice on what to do. I’m still early in my career (1.4yoe) so I feel like I shouldn’t care too much about wlb, but at the same time, I don’t want my mental health to suffer either.

I think you just reach out and say, I'm sorry for the delay in getting in touch, been dealing with some personal issues but I'm ready to connect again. You can just leave it vague like that, and start up the conversation. Nobody is going to punish you or pry for disappearing for a little while. If it happens again, you will need to explain yourself more but at this point I'm sure nobody will hold it against you.

This, but without he apology. You don’t ever have to explain why you lost touch, they lost touch with you to, right?.
It’s ok to say, even three years from now “hey, remember me? I got thinking of you/our project and I’m seeking new opportunities … “
I find what works best in interactions like this is to pick up right where you left off without worry. If you ever go to a HS reunion, the best conversations are those that are like “wow, it’s just like the old days”.
Just say hi. I love it when I hear from folks who haven’t checked in for a long time.

Never. When it comes to work connections, there is an implied motive of doing business with every interaction. Whether it’s weeks or years later - as long as the interaction is friendly. I’m usually delighted to hear from old friends and colleagues.
