Senior associate in the big 4 currently working on huge finance transformation project. This has given me a ton of stakeholder management experience and really put me in the deep end in terms of workload and client engagement. My question is, what's the best way to pivot for a relaxed high paying industry role? What type of roles do you more experienced consultants pivot to when you feel burnt out with your work and want to take on a completely different role in industry without a salary cut?

It depends on what comp you want to target and what you define as relaxed. Do you want a fulfilling job or just rinse and repeat type work? I would focus on IC roles so you only focus on your little piece of the pie and not have to worry about the bs that comes with a management level role at larger companies

Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?
