I’m super happy and excited to exit out of consulting job.
I met all the check marks every appraisal cycle but still I was given the same reason every year. Need book of business or sales experience. Finally, I’m out of that cycle. I’m joining one of the FAANG!

Cheers

Would the work hours be better than consulting?

Outside of IB, PE, and VC, I’ve never heard anyone say their hours in industry are worse than consulting. I’m assuming there are outliers but in general, consulting almost always has worse WLB than industry. The primary complaint I’ve heard from consulting exits is the work isn’t as interesting.
