24 year old senior consultant in corporate tax, on track to become a manager next July. Only thing is I don’t want to be in tax for the rest of my career.. any good exit paths that anyone can recommend? Potentially interested in management consulting, joining a finance team as an accountant or trying banking. Also hoping not to have to take much of a pay cut where possible. Any ideas/thoughts/advice?

I would switch to MC at senior level. You won’t be able to do it at a manager level with no experience. Levels in consulting aren’t aligned with tax. A senior in consulting is like a SM in tax.

I would wait till you get to manager to make the move. You look like so more much valuable if you have that title.

Management consulting? MBA. Finance? Honestly you could potentially switch now but maybe look into some valuable certifications if you want a top tier option for a job.
