Hello,

For those who left industry for consulting, and decided it wasn’t for them - how quick was your jump back to industry? Can you share challenges you had in explaining why the quick turnaround during an interview?

Advice, please!A local, well established firm is seeking me out. I was upfront that I was not looking but because he was persistent and this could be something I’m interested in for the future, I had a sit down with him. At the end, he said the ball was in my court and he would love for me to go through a formal interview. The firm seems great, but my current position is 100% remote and fits perfectly into my schedule. Do I interview even though I wouldn’t consider changing until next year?!

Anything on EHTH?

I’m a pessimist and always see the glass half empty. I don’t think being in management consulting really taught me much - everything seems too touch and go. Prove me wrong (or right)!
