MC to NGO then back to MC?

I have been offered a position with an NGO in my field (same type of work I have previously done as a consultant).If I was to accept the offer and work with the NGO for 2-3 years, how difficult would it be to get back into consultancy afterwards? I mean under normal market conditions, since I'd be out of the equation for 2-3 years.For info, I have approx 7 yrs MC experience, note that the NGO work would be in that same field. Offer is in the same ballpark as my MC package so that's not a factor.Any serious advice from others in that situation would be very gratefully received.

How can an NGO possibly be offering an MC equivalent package? Somthing stinks in that. Re. your actual question, can't really speak with any authority as am not a recruiter. But looking at this from the point of view of someone reviewing CVs you should consider: - will the NGO opportunity push you and challenge you in new ways? - will it give you new learning opportunities (e.g. new types of stakeholders, more complex operating environment, dealing with suppliers/buyers/contracts, managing more/different/difficult/senior/junior employees) - will it give you industry insights that you can apply in your consulting career - will it build industry/consulting contacts that you can leverage when you're back in consultingAnd trumping all of the above: - will it give you more enjoyment in your working life - will it provide the work/life balance you want - will it mean less/more travel, shorter/longer commute - will it mean working with people who are inspired, motivated, helpful, inspiring, motivating
