Why do you want to go to industry?

Peace of mind.... :) higher pay... Want to actually built stuff than just "consult"

EY1 not true. I am leaving consulting for industry and more than doubling my total comp, as consulting does not offer stock options for lower levels and the target bonus is laughable.

I build stuff all the time

@C1 what is current base vs new base?

What was your role before and what is your role now?

Similar role/level in tech industry
