Would you switch to a firm that has all 5 days in person requirement and paycut just to get out of Consulting.

Only you know if you're thirsty enough to look for water at the bottom of a dumpster.

But generally speaking, run to something, not from something.

True, I like what you said. This ever changing nature of consulting is getting onto me. I was actively looking and cracked the interview rounds when I was on bench for 3 weeks, but now I got a relatively easy going engagement and 5 days in person at the new firm sounds like an overkill especially with some paycut.

No. I would just quiet quit and look for more options

No. 5 days in person will get exhausting sooner than you think. I would only consider it if I got a significant pay bump - not in a scenario where I am losing money. The only reason to take something like this is if is a dream job of some sort and setting you up for future success. Since you are no longer on the bench, keep your job search going a bit longer.

Yes. It's getting harder to travel away week after week. My family needs me. Pay is low where I live and jobs expect you to be in the office. I'm looking at a huge pay cut to do similar work in industry. Being present at home carries more value. Leave the singles and MDs who enjoy being weekend parents to it.

5 day’s onsite in big tech or something like that? Sure. Especially if it means reduced work hours. But how much of a pay cut are we talking?

some 10k, not a bigtech. 40 minute drive from my place. Ugh there could be lesser workload but they are also asking for on call rotations. I don’t have anything like that at my place, it’s just that I’m rattled when I get on bench and the whole offshoring trend in Consulting. I don’t see a pathforward in Consulting but I’m only a Senior. TBH I’m looking for a lowkey team to be on

Fuck no

Ask them to Add spitting in your face every day as you enter the office and then you can think about taking the job.

Never going back to the office

D3- never say never unless you are about to retire this year.

Nope

I was offered a contractor role (~20 hours a week) at 90/hour. This is extremely attractive because it’ll double my income (and the tax deductions from 1099 are solid). With that being said, I also want to see what kind of conflicts I can see given that I’m at a B4 firm.

I get the whole “you can’t have a second job” thing and don’t care but I’m actually worried about causing major conflict of interest.
