Is a return to consulting from industry more difficult vs. a switch to industry from consulting: Consulting —>Industry —> Consulting or Consulting—> industry . Currently at a consulting manager level, would effectively be looking at Sr.Mgr consulting equivalent roles to return to, 2-3 years out.

It’s actually pretty easy. You’re in fact better placed than people who have spent their whole careers in consulting. Coming back, you’d have got the specific knowledge + you’ll have the core consulting skills set you developed from before. The best consultants I’ve seen have been from industry. Yes, it takes them a while to learn the basics of consulting, but once they do, they’re excellent

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.
