Are the exit MBB ops the same for Knowledge Analysts & Solution Specialists as they are for traditional MBB consultants?

No, even for client facing roles it’s largely based on your engagement experience

A1 is incorrect. Your engagement experience has very little to do with exit roles, at least if you're client facing. Many folks at MBB leave to go do things that are completely unrelated to the work they did while at MBB. Personally in the last year have seen industrials -> finance, industrials -> food, healthcare -> tech, and a few others. Yeah the engagement experience can help, but it sure isn't a "you did this at MBB so we'll only interview you for that in industry"

You know the requirements and hiring bar are quite different between solution/knowledge and integrative/expert track, right? McK can open doors for sure but whether you can ace the interview totally depends on you and your experience

At the exit opp. They certainly want you to have the required skills for the new job and it would be reflected by stories from your working experience (which may vary a lot from team to team at McK)

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

1. Taking ownership for entire team deliverables.
2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
