Industry is not that different but you have to live with your ideas, execute your plans, manage up and down the chain, respect the culture and recognize the hours aren’t shorter, just different. Spent 10 years in industry. Last rec is get equity, that’s how you build wealth faster in industry.

Well, either your new gig sees your potential which made them comfortable in making that offer or they are too dim to see through the consulting veneer. In either case you should be fine :)

I’m a Director at an industrials company. Total comp is about $70k more than I made as a M at D. I, and almost all Ds and VPs, work pretty close to 8-5 most weeks. SBU presidents and c-suite of course work more but they also make more than partners at consulting firms.
