For those who have been in industry - do you get bored with your day to day work?

I feel like I would be bored out of my mind if I moved to industry; I get approached quite a bit for industry roles but never look into them because I’m worried I would lose my mind

M4 I agree. I was in industry for about 10 years prior to consulting. Looking to go back. I enjoy long-term work where I get to wear many hats and actually see strategy through.

Absolutely.

Nope

At the same pay level, no. My bosses in industry a few years back made consulting salary, but they also worked weekends, late nights, and stressed out all the time.
