🐠 with Colleagues that moved from Consulting to SF area big tech firms (Apple, google, Facebook etc), what have you heard about the transition / work / culture change? What type of $ bump is typical?

Make sure your pay bump is enough to sustain your current lifestyle, the housing costs will eat up a lot of your increase of not all and get ready to sit in traffic if you decide to live in the burbs, BART smells like piss

Not everyone gets a pay bump . What level are you?! I'm in and out of industry/consulting. People in consulting seem to have reasons (personal/family/marriage) and financial reasons for going into industry and at some levels are not financially sound. Finances aren't everything.

Assuming my husband (also has great, even better career than me) and family continue to be based where we are, I'll gladly take a 30% pay cut to go back to industry where I don't have to travel every week. That's for VP level

Travel aside, would you expect the workload and stress to be comparable? Less intense, more intense? I’ve heard the culture at the big name Silicon Valley companies can be ruthless, albeit in a different way than consulting...

Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.
