Already was uneasy, but becoming more and more insecure about exit opportunities from Deloitte gov (strategy), as compared to MBB or even Deloitte commercial. Any perspective on how someone in my position is viewed from competitive opportunities in PE ops, and how to overcome whatever deficit exists? Appreciate any/all honest perspectives (OP is Post-MBA from top 15 program, Sr Consultant, approaching 1 year in consulting). Thank you!

Switch to commercial for better commercial exit ops.

Pretty self explanatory

Appreciate that point for sure, and it’s not one I haven’t considered, but have met some severe resistance as I’ve socialized a move to commercial, so trying to take stock of things right now

You need real world experience doing that work and no time to be brought up to speed. Was in D GPS and went commercial - it’s much faster and can be a steep learning curve

like

PE ops requires an under standing of value generation from portfolio companies (ie- how to squeeze value out of every penny). Government work is almost none of that. Internal resistance should be expected because you’re a resource they’ve invested in but frankly you need to ask yourself what will advance your career. Generally people who go into PE ops have deals and valuation experience and/or deep functional expertise (eg-know where to find efficiencies).

Understood on all, thank you!

If you want commercial exit opps, you need to get to commercial consulting. GPS is great for mission-driven and social impact work, but that doesn’t sound like what you’re interested in

Depends on what you want to go into. I know plenty of people who have exited GPS into tech, for example. In my interviews, I never mentioned my clients were government
