What industry? What type of work?

The responses are going to range between entirely unhelpful and mostly unhelpful without additional context.

like

Any area that involves tech strategy or implementation, could be consulting or industry...also have plenty of agile & program management experience and some exposure to analytics and custom app dev experience

Curious : Why would you take this demotion/do this to yourself. Was it a pay cut or a pay increase moving to Big 4?

like

Slight pay increase and personal reasons (moving to new city)...also was told that Big4 M is much more challenging, which I eventually learned is not true :)
