Yeah, its mainly because of the big pay increase and slightly better WLB. We tend to work with a lot of big tech companies, and if a manager at a tech company really likes you, they’ll reach out

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder.
