Any advice on exit strategies or job roles to look into when you were never specialized in an industry/project type?

I don’t understand this, isn’t this pretty much impossible if you gained no relevant industry skills to exit to industry?

Exception is if you’re a MBB star that rose to EM in 2-years and are now looking at a Corp Strategy role or equivalent. But if you’re a Big 4 “PMO” or “Implementation” consultant then what do you actually offer that will help you stand out from the competition? Not trying to be harsh here.

Industry skills or project type is very important. Hence why Deloitte M&A can exit easily into Corp Development roles or why Healthcare Consultants can exit to Big Pharma. I think if you don’t have any specialist knowledge or skills then you need to build it quickly.

Being young and sub 5-years of working experience is the only time where you get a pass for not bringing anything to the table. Knowledge and skills are deeply valued.

I see several posts from people asking how they can help during these times with a few extra $$$ to spend. Here is just one of many ideas.

#stepuptothetable is about helping local restaurants who are struggling during these times. I have seen numerous linkedin posts with videos where people challenge each other to step up to the table & buy meals & gift cards from their community restaurants. A great way for those of us who are more fortunate to support business & keep people employed.
