1A) When is the best time to exit MBB? Senior consultant trying to figure out if it's worth sticking it out to hit M in a year or SM in 2 years, or if I should jump now because the next few years are only going to be extra stressful.

1B) What are typical roles Cs/junior Ms at MBB exit to? How do you make sure you don't get a recent MBA grad job despite not have the specialist knowledge that SM+s have? Industry agnostic, just looking for reasonable pay, sustainable hours, and happy people

I think best time to leave is when you come across the right opportunity. Start looking before you are too fed up so you have time on your side. Be clear what a good exit looks like for you. Engage with recruiters that reach out and tell them what you are looking for. Wait until you feel excited about the role.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry.

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
