Are there any exit opportunities for this supply chain consultant? I have been a supply chain consultant for almost a year and did three years in industry. I am realizing consulting is not for me and want to come back to industry. Any help is greatly appreciated.

As a supply chain consultant, there are several potential exit opportunities available to you if you are interested in transitioning back to industry. Here are a few options you may want to consider:

Supply chain management roles in industry: With your experience in supply chain consulting, you may be well-suited for a supply chain management position in industry. This could involve managing operations, logistics, procurement, or other areas of the supply chain.

Operations or logistics management roles: Depending on your specific expertise and experience, you may also be a good fit for operations or logistics management positions in industry. These roles often involve overseeing the day-to-day operations of a facility or warehouse, managing transportation and distribution networks, and ensuring that products are delivered on time and on budget.

Procurement or sourcing roles: Another potential option for someone with supply chain consulting experience is to transition into procurement or sourcing roles in industry. These positions involve managing relationships with suppliers, negotiating contracts, and ensuring that the organization is getting the best possible value from its suppliers.

Industry-specific roles: Depending on the industry you worked in before becoming a consultant, you may also be able to transition back into a role in that industry. For example, if you have experience in the healthcare industry, you could look for supply chain roles in hospitals or pharmaceutical companies.

Entrepreneurship: If you have a strong entrepreneurial spirit, you may want to consider starting your own business. With your supply chain expertise, you could potentially start a consulting firm or a company that specializes in supply chain management.

Overall, there are many potential exit opportunities for supply chain consultants who are interested in transitioning back to industry. The key is to identify the areas of the supply chain that you are most interested in and to network with industry professionals to find potential job openings. Good luck with your job search!

Depends on what you really want to do. Maybe what you need is a break from work or a change off company. Are you interested in manufacturing or healthcare?

I think I really just want a change from consulting. I’m just realizing it’s not for me. I love supply chain, but consulting is not for me. So that’s why I don’t want to be a supply chain consultant. But a break from work would be nice as well!

Curious what niche fields you all are aware of. I started my practice a few months ago, focusing on business lit and transactions. I’ve had success, but I feel like I need to zero in on a specialty and direct my marketing that way. So I’m just curious what niche fields are out there. Thoughts?

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.
