I recently left to industry after 10 years in consulting. I knew I didn't plan on pursuing partner track, but I stayed because I liked the work experience and was waiting to find the right exit.

20 years consulting, about 5 independent. Industry for 5 years or so? Zero desire to go back to industry. I like consulting because of the diversity - there's always an end date you work towards. 👋🏻

I’m going to break ten years in a few weeks and I still like it. I’m a programmer and have been fortunate enough to carve out my own little “lead/contribute” niche. I get tapped on the shoulder for the “oh sht” kind of stuff, firefighting.

I enjoy programming a lot and consulting is a great way to keep it fresh.

15 years. Made jump to industry. Never looking back.

8 years and then quit at the right moment. Never heading back.

12 years in.. looking to go back to industry. Had 9 years in industry before joining consulting.

20 years, found my niche/rhythm, no plans to leave

25 years in consulting. Love the latest technology,being on the edge and the variety of projects with many sectors. Can not imagine Industry job with politics more than few years.

How do I get a job as a Mechanical Engineer if I dont have experience?

I couldn’t get an internship while in school. I have a BS in ME and projects from school under my belt. I’ve also passed the FE exam. I’ve been mostly just doing CAD for a company for the last year by creating minimally dimensioned drawings and moving parts around in assemblies. I want to evolve in my career and be doing more. I worked so hard to earn my degree and I feel like I’m not even using it. But who will hire me?

Purely mercenary question here: If I'm currently a 7yr working EPLI at an ID firm, and want to break $300k in the next few years, is there a route to get there?

Partnership at my firm won't come close. My transferrable book is probably less than $100k a year. BL is probably not interested in me given my law school tier and current firm. Am I dreaming?

Has anyone made the transition from non-profit and small firm practice to federal government, big law, in-house? I’m a special education parent attorney at a small firm and I’ve spent my legal career in the education and juvenile areas of the law working for 2 non-profits before ending up at the firm. However, I’m just exhausted, unmotivated, and and looking for a change. At this point (6.5 yrs of practice), is that type of transition even possible or am I stuck due to the practice area?
