I'm scared of leaving consulting because I have commitment issues, I like not staying on the same team for more than six months , I like being able to quit projects with shitty bosses. In the industry, you spend an entire year with one team and that seems scary. Also there is no system of bench if you get fired.

Same here lol. I hate consulting but I fear if I go to industry… I’m stuck with whoever I’m working with, for better or worse. It’s a huge gamble
