Only if you leave to consulting. Leaving for industry as sr then boomeranging at higher level is a challenge

Yes! What M1 said. If you boomerang back in with great industry connections and help establish a book of business with your prior firm, sounds like a manager case.

Seen a senior consultant leave Deloitte and boomerang to KPMG as a senior manager 4 years later. She still wasn't happy, so left to pwc for a director position after a year at KPMG

Will it be too high salary to ask for a Manager(M2)-Data Analytics position in Deloitte Consulting UK?
If no, then will it be good enough for 3 people to lead a decent life in London (Like Hounslow or Milton Keyes) including a 2 year old kid. Traveling to London on daily basis.
If yes, then kindly suggest a reasonable salary range for this role.

Hello,

My friend joined RBS with 18 LPA (1,80,000 is the retirement funding) rest comes in basic & benefit funding. What will be the monthly in hand amount?

Curious here - my buddy just became a “Director” of Business Development in a LCOL area for a professional sports team. He likes to brag about how much he makes but I don’t really buy it. Obviously it’s subjective depending who you ask. Also, “director” gets thrown around willy nilly now. Any idea what someone like this makes? Seems like a couple years ago he was just selling tickets which kind of sell themself. Wondering if I should go do something similar since I’m sales oriented lol.

I finally broke down and went back on HRT last week. I have been taking gabapentin for a nerve injury which I’ve learned helps hot flashes. I can’t tell a significant difference yet aside from maybe getting a little better sleep. I saw a new doctor (male) to get my prescription refilled and he seems to have a different philosophy than my last doctor (female). He wants me to be on HRT until 51, but after that he doesn’t recommend it. I hope by that age I’ll be off the gabapentin…
