So I'm a senior associate making 100k in D.C., but just got an offer for 120k at a trade association for an economist role. What are your thoughts on jumping from consulting to a more research role?

Purely from a comp perspective, I’d think PwC is a better bet over the long term.

honestly, you can always come back to PwC. you’ll probably make more when you do. if you’re more than 1 year away from making 120k at PwC, i would bail.

Also remember the PhD economists will rule the roost... be prepared to have limited mobility unless you hold a relevant PhD or are moving into more of a lobbying (sales) vs analysis role.

Dude this is definitely like a “what do you want to do” question. Being a research economist will be dramatically different than consulting

As a status report, I ended up taking the role, super flexible on start dates so I'm able to finish up my current project before I leave

I am not the best person to answer this but my first two thoughts/questions were 1. who are you gonna be working with? On the face, it seems like it could be a culture shift you should be prepared for. And 2. Are you close to becoming a manager at PwC and realizing a similar salary without leaving?

Got promoted in June, and I figured like most people there is an inevitable boomerang. My only concern is that it would be a totally different industry, acting more as a lobbyist

Haha so true, I do eventually plan on getting a phd but am worried about burning bridges

That sounds like an awesome role. Can always come back to consulting
