What's most important to you when deciding to take a new job? People judge me when I say the salary is the main thing I care about. But why would someone go into Consulting for any other reason besides the pay?

My stint in Big 4 consulting was largely to enable a career pivot from industry practitioner to advisor. In another way, for the exit opps that wouldn’t have been available to me when coming straight from industry.

Lots of folks prioritize fully-remote positions too. Long commutes and/or frequent travel talks a lot of time away from you

But yes cash comp is usually top 3 reason (I exclude equity unless it’s a publicly traded company, because odds are those shares won’t be worth very much)

Future opportunities extending from the experience

And traveling to new work environments

Muni 💰

Money is always the root of the decision. Whether it’s money now or money later. I generally like the work, but not nearly enough to do it for free. I could make some trades for WLB, but I wouldn’t like it taking a huge bite out of pay.

I'm thinkin about landing a remote SWE job (leetcoding and building a portfolio this summer).
Have you got some advice? Is it possible to work for US remotely without visa? What other countries pay well? Is it possible to land a 100k$+ with this kind of experience and working from Italy?
