I've been a Consultant for about 8 years. I planned to get out of consulting to try my hand at commercial public relations/communications. I got an offer from Xerox to work with their corporate PR segment. Then I got an unexpected offer from KPMG to work with their transformation advisory segment doing comms for federal clients. Both are similar offers, 20% bumps. KPMG has slightly more PTO and EOY bonuses, but Xerox had a nice signing bonus and slightly higher base salary. WDID??

Higher base! Also. You can always jump back to consulting.

If you getting out of Consulting world is important, then there is only one answer for you 😏

Or

Pour in your ideas which will help all.

Thanks,
