Looking for your input! Joined consulting from industry. 5 years in industry with same company and now 1 year in consulting. Old company wants me back and will bring me in a title higher than what I left (lateral move to consulting) and salary will go up 40k. Important to note that my salary I left industry to now going back, would have doubled. What are your optics on this? Going back to same company after a 1 year stint in consulting? Knowing I’m going back at higher title?

You’re doubling your pay to go back to doing something you’re good at. I’d go back

Depends on a lot of different factors. Age, which company your prefer, which industry etc. but personally I would do it because I miss industry. Consulting has been fun but I’m looking for my exit

I’d say it depends if you want to ever come back to consulting. Might have some questions down the road. But I have heard of a lot of people doing this in consulting, can always phrase it as “consulting wasn’t for me”

Do you like your old company? What made you leave in the first place? I’ll do it, but because I’ve been in consulting for a longgggg time and I’m ready to make the move.

And you are getting more money on the industry job? Then go back 🙃

This is a very personal choice. Your ques about optics - if you take this role back to your prev company I’d look to try and stay an extended period of time. Sure you can explain away with anything but if I were your resume and I saw 5-1-1 and you were looking to join my company I’d want a serious explanation. Gl in your decision

But totally understand that staying there more than 1 year would be key. Would want to at least do 3 minimum

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

Fish who have been feds,

The program analysis offer is at a higher GS level and a more well known agency, but is not what I’m interested in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?
