I agree here, going into industry after some time in Big 4 / Public will make you incredibly marketable - I'm hearing from Senior Managers and Directors left and right that staying in public / consulting for too long has made them miss on opportunities that have instead gone to competitor candidates that can show recent industry experience.

Currently 6 YOE in Audit making $135k
