If you had the opportunity to switch from a T2 consulting firm (Kearney, OW, LEK) consultant role w/ 2 YOE to become a new grad SWE at a T2 tech company (Salesforce, Microsoft, Bloomberg), would you? Concerned about salary progression but would like to ideally work <55 hrs per week consistently.

Go to SWE. Young enough to not need to be concerned with salary progression lol when becoming a SWE

Focus on the skills, not prestige. Any of those companies will do wonders for you in the long run

As long as you don’t dislike SWE work. And you’re overestimating hours there, you won’t even get close to touching 55. More like 30-40 for most teams.

If you only care about salary progression, you shouldn’t even be in consulting in the first place - aim for a PE exit instead.

From a pure technical skill perspective this feels like a step up, but does moving to government and public sector position me worse than if I stay in risk?
