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 all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
