role, I have some say and control of what, how, when, and where I do things and I can imagine this being true for other consulting firms. But I am afraid of losing this if I went into industry. Can anyone share their insight if you’ve made the jump? Is this fear unwarranted ?

Also realised that this may vary significantly by industry and company. Below are few companies I am looking at:
- Google
- Facebook
- LinkedIn

Can’t really comment on that feeling but I would suggest looking into West Monroe! A smaller firm allows for that type of control and freedom you are looking for! Feel free to DM me for details

Let me know if WM decides to venture out of NA.

What kind of work do you do?

My best friend took a year off work and just traveled around South America with just a backpack and duffle bag of essentials.

Aside from activities like bungee jumping or live sports events, most of the other activities costs little to nothing. Debating on saving up and just escape for a bit just like that.
