Assuming you don’t hate consulting life, you have an mba, but don’t see yourself sticking around long enough to make partner, what is the best level to exit at

Focus less on level to exit and more on the outgoing opportunity itself. Great exit opportunities can come at any level, try not to pass up a company/opportunity you love due to being too focused on exit level (eg Manager) as it may not come back when you get to that magical next level.

Manager - unless something great comes along. Just my 2 cents but you’ve got the consulting skills (you’ll have those after a few years of consulting regardless of level) AND you’ve proved you can operate independently and manage a team which is a couple of extra boxes checked.

OMG following!

I’d say manager or experienced manager, for sure. Having 6-10 years under your belt will get you a lateral Sr. Manager role in industry and you’ll get a nice pay bump

Is there a general expectation that a Partner has an MBA?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.
