I’ve seen no disadvantages for boomerangs, if anything they’ve got a more rounded experience and they’re on a better salary than they would’ve been if they stayed. Staying at one firm your entire career is a fools game.

Not me personally but three of my b4 peers/friends have after 1-3 years and it was essentially as if they never left. I'm sure there were some private struggles but they are on a similar career path as they were prior to leaving.

Could be tougher in this macro environment

I’m wondering is it good to jump to industry for my next move or move up in the consulting world to polish my resume better with MBB or Big 4 in my resume… any thoughts? I really don’t know what to do in life so either one works for me, but I’m just lost.

Any advice would be appreciated!
