Working at MBB with really good feedback so far and I think have a good chance of getting promoted and would make almost double my salary . But I’m burnt out and my health both physical and mental is a wreck due to the stress and lack of WLb. I may have a chance at exiting into a strategy role in tech but would I be crazy to do that in this current macro environment? I am definitely done with consulting but I feel like I’ll get burned if I leave into tech right now.

The true macro environment is your health, relationships, peace of mind, and humanity.

You are likely financially stable, with a robust resume. Very few are so fortunate—do not squander the opportunity to save what matters truly in this life.

Just do it you can always boomerang back bro - I’m exiting rn for the same reason because I’d rather get laid off from a cool place than do some shit I hate and ruin my health simultaneously

Take a mental health / short term disability leave. The advantage of consulting over industry is that you can take an extended break between projects and don’t have to worry about what’s happening at work while you’re gone.

If you have not explored already, I would highly recommend you try internal services as well.

Can do LOA or an internal/external secondment in something easier while you get your health back.

Just another option :)

Hey Fishes,

Recently got an offer from PharmEasy for the Data Analyst role with a 30 % hike from current salary at Deloitte, where CTC is 8.1 LPA
But will have to pay in the training cost along with the joining bonus which comes up to 2.4 lac. Really confused what to do as I've been on bench for 3 months now with no learning opportunity and don't know what kind of projects I might get ahead and what about the wlb as compared to PharmEasy.
Some insights will be much appreciated :)
