That’s the hard thing, outside of other consulting firms and FANG companies, not many places can or will offer us more money than we are currently making

There are many, many options beyond just FAANG:

- large corporations of any industry (entertainment, pharma / biotech, industrials, consumer goods, etc) - corporate development, business development, strategy, finance, marketing, etc
- PE/VC
- start ups (their own or somebody else’s)
- grad school, depending on age
- government, public sector, or non profit work
- etc.

It’s a springboard to a large number of careers beyond just the major tech firms.

Might be leaving consulting soon, and have found that our prior expertise has a lot more pull than we think when looking in industry (assuming it is the same industry of focus during your tenure in consulting). This pull can help you gain a higher level role than you would achieve in the same amount of time in industry, resulting (sometimes) in higher pay than in consulting if you play your cards right and leverage your skills.

Take this with a grain of salt, obviously, as it depends on your area of focus.

Currently going to school for my cannabis certification but I rarely see any jobs that offer cannabis research.
