Took a role at a startup over a T2 consulting offer a few months ago and am regretting my decision. Scope has changed significantly and team/company has had attrition with work being dumped on me. Should I go back to the T2 firm and see if they’re still willing to take me? Is there a way to frame it without getting taken advantage of/lowballed?

It is in appropriate to ask what the compensation for a position is after a first interview if they want you to go on three more and the interviewers on my first told me that was above their pay grade to tell me?????

Seems kind of ridiculous for a business to want to waste so much time to find out after a handful of interviews that the pay isnt aligned with my needs ......

I can see in biglaw not bringing up knowing damn well if you get an offer itll likely be high, but this is a midsize
