Yes it happens

Many have, and most fail. Don't underestimate the value of the brand and infrastructural support that comes with a big firm. Most who think they are a Harvey Spector and venture out realize that they are a Louis Litt at best (not as articulate or smart)

That's exactly the reason I asked this question. May those who failed didn't had Mike Ross as their secret sauce onboard.

There’s a whole sub sector of consulting firms descended from BCG. So yes, lots of MBB partners have founded firms, including the other B.

Has any of the MBB been doing much work in public sector since the onset of pandemic? Would they be willing to hire someone with exclusively public sector experience of +6 years and an MBA from Canada?

Asking because during the MBA recruitment, public sector experience was not helpful as MBB didn't focus there a lot.

Pretty highly rated consistently and up for director this year. For years been thinking of starting a business (franchise). Pandemic has put a dent in that but still viable option. Gross profit is 350k (median) and a line of business I’d be very interested in. Clearly this is less pay than new parter (but could open more than one eventually) and risk may be higher for failure.
