How many people are still in consulting because the right exit opportunity has not come along? Are you scared that as soon as you leave consulting you are stuck in that new industry for life?

Any exit opportunity I considered in the past turned out to be inferior to what I had. I wouldn’t mind a change of scenery, but the switching cost is too high

Yes to your first question. Not at all to your second. Why would you think you'd be stuck?

It is much easier to pivot into anything you want out of consulting than almost any industry job.

I am interviewing for a new IT Manager position. I started putting out soft feelers and then hit the hunt harder. The problem: I have one offer and need to give an answer by next Wednesday. I have two other opportunities that are in final steps but probably won’t have offers by next Wednesday. Both of the other offers will be higher pay but clearly are uncertain for offers. Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?

I'm always on the look out for my next opportunity or passively job searching. To that end, I believe in staying connected with my network through out the year and not randomly approaching them for a position/opening. However, at times, it feels the communication is coerced and there is a lack of rapport. Anyone else struggle with this? Thanks!
