I'm a recently laid off senior CRM business analyst from a consulting firm and was wondering whether to stay in consulting which is tanking right now or go back to the corp. life, which I find to be a last resort, but I have to pay the bills.. Any advice/insight would be helpful and appreciated. |

Not to make your decision any harder, but if you're seeing what I'm seeing, the market isn't exactly exploding for corporate IT positions either.
You can probably expect a little more stability if you join a corporate team at the beginning of an initiative, and it sounds like you're realistic about the fact that you'll take a pay cut doing so.
If you have relevant skills, you might want to consider looking around for contract consulting work. If you get decent rate, it will certainly pay the bills and buy you some time to see where the job market goes both at the corporate and services level.
