M at B4 and have a principal offer at Slalom (similar comp).
Planning on having kids soon and generally over consulting especially the long hours/travel. Would you wait for an industry offer or jump ship while you can?

Industry - you are basically staff Aug at Slalom

Stay with B4 if you want the industry jump. Slalom will be a distraction and might dilute your resume.

I agree with industry exits but are there any comparable pay opportunities in this economy anywhere besides tech (which doesnt truly value consulting experience)? Wherever I look in industry, the expectation is to be ok with lower base pay but a promise of higher bonus, can't really rely on that, especially with potentially higher monthly expenses in future with a child.

As p1 stated, Slalom is staff aug and comp isn’t competitive long term so go with industry

How much do you make now as M will tell you if you even taking a pay cut in industry.

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex. Two people do the same job but one is paid more or given a larger bonus “because they have kids and you live alone” or “because their family is struggling”. Is that an ethical factor if both employees do the same job at the same pace, quality, etc?
