If I move from working at a bank to consulting, would it be easy/difficult to move back to work at a bank Or NBFC in future?

How does one decide whether to move to consulting from industry? Or vice versa?

PS: I'm not talking about investment banking but jobs like data analytics or F&A at banks.

What type of consulting?

So from JDs I have seen, mainly the work at consulting firms like EXL, or BCG gamma is similar to what I do, which is, data analysis on banks' customers data... Just the difference is that these firms would be doing it for their clients while at my current job my employer is my client

Yeah you can, as I made that move for insurance sector. Key deciding factor should be and EXL will have advantage here,
1. Learning opportunities, as you are analysing more than one client
2. Data/ Digital solution awareness
3. Work culture
4. WLB

Few cons:
1. You will mostly be working in US / UK night shifts. Please clarify your shift timings before you join.
2. Role in IT or service based companies can be more of support functions, however EXL has a lot of client facing roles as well.
3. Going back wouldn’t be easier, as Indian banks or insurance prefer hiring from same sector. However it’s not impossible as IT/ Ops related roles are always open considering the digital opportunities banking space is generating.

I can think of these as major differences!

Considering joining a small 50-person company as the only attorney (prior attorney is retiring). (I am currently in-house at a F50). For others who have done the same path, what surprises did you have when moving from a large company to a small one?

For example, it sounds like I should not expect a document management system, based on a prior post in this bowl. I’m guessing expenses like state bar fees and cell phone are not reimbursed.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it.

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
