I'm in federal and have this lifestyle 🤔

At this point in my life there is no amount of money you could pay me to go back to industry. I consider those my "lost" years- so aimless, so bored, so stagnant

What traveling perks? Fucking points, free stays, upgrades, who gives a shit, I look at my status be it hotel, airline, whatever and all I see is tons of time wasted sitting in a plane staying at a hotel away from what I care about. Traveling sucks balls

Already took a 20K pay cut to be in federal government. Making money is nothing if you don't have time and will to spend it.

Current base is 200K. I would leave for more money :) joking aside, I'd move in for 180 with great flexibility

220 base, not taking a pay cut. I travel in my own time zone 90% though which makes it easier

D4, I'm with you. Came to consulting for traveling perks and ended up doing 2 hrs commute. Fml

76. 55 if I loved the new job, 60 if I liked it.

Would say that there is also many false assumptions around comes consulting

Deloitte 1 what level are you?

That sounds dreadful

There's a false assumption that industry = more work / life flexibility. I've worked in both industry and consulting, and while it depends, only see all of my friends at SM / VP level and above killing it.

See it as just the opposite. A way better quality of life industry and you have the time to become a true expert. I would also take a 20% cut.

Senior manager

Like D2, this is my experience in federal. I've been spoiled and I'm not sure if I'd have lasted this long doing the traditional consulting lifestyle

I took a 10k hit to take this "traveling" consulting job and ended up on a local long term project

That's already my work situation 😎

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
