I don’t know why people think industry folks have it easy. Worked in Finance four year and slogged my butt atleast 8 months a year. I switched because consulting gives more perks for the same amount of hard work. Help me understand please!

In general a mid-cap company will give you the best bang for your buck when looking for exit opps. A job is a job, you should be paid what you’re worth. Yes you can go a F500 or one of the FAANGS but they will underpay you for the name. Example blizzard pays under the market because it your “passion” to work there.

I can’t get into to specific about my company since it a unique role.
