Thoughts on this exit leaving tech consulting as a Senior Manager with 10 years of experience going to a large bank. 240k base 30% bonus 50k equity 40k signing bonus

Just left Capital One after the bulk of my time in Corp Strat, former AP at MBB. Great money, terrible experience. I was a highly paid slide writer. They promised great roles in the business and a path up - completely false. There are few business roles available, and no Corp Strat hire since 2017 has made it past MVP in the lines of business. Tread with caution.

Would you take a pay cut from $205K base to $180K base to go fully remote + can live wherever (from 2 days in office in NYC).

So does anyone who actually works at a major consulting firm (big 4 or MBB) or other top tier 2 firms have a good work life balance/realistic work expectations and semi-caring managers? Or is it really all just cutthroat and ruthless everywhere?

What sites do people like to find job posting and roles to apply to? I use LinkedIn, is there something better?
