I’ve been proposed an exit as Product Owner at a real company, not a consulting one. Staff seems nice, good culture, good salary (less than consulting but well), BUT I would have to move countries for that job and start a new life.

I’ve also been proposed a Manager position at a consulting company in my home city, with potential of bigger salary thanks to bonuses. Culture seems good... But I’m sure it’s gonna be a hell lot of work.

Which one would you take? Should I exit and never look back?

So consulting companies aren’t “real companies” 🤔 good to know.

Plenty of companies run without relying on a concrete end product (addressing one of OP’s replies above). It’s called the service industry. That’s why consulting is known as a ‘professional services’

What country? I took a exit with lower comp to travel. Can't really say for you, depends on your motivations

A real company :D

Value 🌈

How old are you? If you are young, dun have family members to look after and limited liabilities in any form, I’ll say it’s a good chance to go out and explore different things when you still can.

You never know what new opportunities this exit will lead you to, and you can always go back to consulting if you want.

Very young, my parents are going to be okay for the next 5 years at least, and no debt... so well.

Indeed I can always go back if needed

Where would you move?

I don’t love consulting more, no. So I guess Switzerland it should be...
