Are exit opps that much better as an MBB engagement manager/case team leader vs associate/consultant. I hate this job and still have a year to go

Can someone describe the exit opportunities people are gunning for? It seems like it’s mostly either PE or lateraling to corp strat at a big F500

If you hate it, no exit opportunity is worth it other than an immediate one.

I recently left Bain as a new CTL (new, as in I was promoted to CTL and left before doing even a single case as a CTL). I’m only one data point, but my experience is as follows:

- Getting the interviews was generally more about total years of experience + referrals

- Being a CTL maybe helped in getting a higher salary package. I was told that I was bordering two salary bands, and would probably be in the lower one based on total YOE, but because I am a CTL they put me in the higher band

Generally yes. I would think an EM/M would get a better exit that an A/AC. But I’m sure there are exceptions to the rule.

On average, there’s a bump every 2-3 years in types of exit opps from what I’ve seen. So, at Bain, exit oops look different SAC vs. CTL vs. 3rd year manager / 1st year principal. In between, it’s much less hazy. I could see a late C2 /CTL / 1 year manager all getting similar roles.
