Any advantages to waiting until consultant promotion to start searching for an exit ? Could I then target Manager exit opportunities?

I've seen manager positions 3-5 YoE. As long as you have 3 years you should be fine

Yes, just left Deloitte with 3 yoe and I’m a Manager in industry.

So I would suggest waiting until you get the promotion.

Totally depends on the specific exit target. Manager at Big Tech? You'll most likely get passed over without a second thought. Manager at one healthcare industry firm I worked at where M was the 3rd of 17 career levels? Sure, and you could probably make a case for it right now.

And so on.

There is no uniform manager level in a particular industry, let alone within industry overall.

lol this exactly. Manager title is often inflated in industry and does NOT equate to the responsibility of a manager in consulting.
