Yes and those who have worked in industry know it has its own pitfalls (untalented staff, more bureaucracy/politics, need for someone above you to retire or leave for you to get promoted, smaller raises, monotonous work). All in all I feel lucky but also recognize I haven’t had some of the worst experiences in consulting seeing what people share on here

Depends on the “industry” and company within industry. Consulting maybe a monolith , but you are tagging 1000s of companies
Most of the projects in consulting are not interesting. Especially the past few years where the economy has been down you don’t see so many of those interesting growth strategy projects
I spent 2 years here at A&M and just left, shitty internal projects that people were getting forced to do to get utilization. MDs discounting work and struggling to sell left a deep bench. Not sure if it was a consulting side problem or with A&M

I liked consulting before the pandemic.

Consulting way better than the alternatives
I would prefer that internal consulting in an industry that I actually care about
I came late to consulting after fifteen years in industry. I like it better than any of the roles I had in those fifteen years: it's more consistently interesting, it's far better for developing skills, and it turns out that it's a much better environment for my ADHD.
lol I’m would not define this work interesting
Thank God for consulting - and contracting. It’s an alternative to the flagrant ageism in industry.
People who leave consulting realize pretty quickly if they tried to work the industries they consulted on they would never make it
That’s why they all go in to S&O, TPM, etc.
