What exactly is meant by “industry”? For example, when someone says “I want to transfer from management consulting to industry.” What are constituent industry companies?

Industry is comprised of a number of sectors (Gov/CPG/Health/Oil&Gas/DIP etc.). Companies sit within a sector of the industry (Nike sits within CPG for example). When you go to work for industry, you’re working for a company within a specific sector. On fishbowl, it’s viewed as all non-consulting companies.

Are you seriously asking this question?

I asked this question once and got some reuse responses like how the hell am I ok consulting. Good question. Industry, from what I’ve gathered, are the clients you work with as a consultant. E.g. consult gov—-gov is industry; consult Amazon; amazon is industry

Typos there but you get the point I hope ^^

Manager - Excellent explanation. Thanks

The managing partner of my office likes to make jokes about Covid now that it is “over” (either in small group convos or speeches to the office). My dad died from Covid, and I honestly feel like it’s so insensitive for him to make these comments when he knows that I lost my dad to it. Our office isn’t that big, and I don’t think many people forget being told that someone they know lost someone from Covid. It has made me consider leaving because of it, but the economy isn’t great.
