At what level is it most optimal to exit consulting? I’ve heard people say Principal is too late. Recruiters tell me leaving as a Jnr Manager is no different to leaving as a Snr Associate.

You can always come back to Consulting once you leave. It’s breaking in that’s the hard part for most.

Manager. No real benefit making it to principal. Actually more difficult finding the right role

I’d say either manager or partner. From what I’ve seen, SM exit opps are not noticeably better than M ones

I got much better offers as a principal than a manager. After hitting the 12 month mark of principal was best

Hi, what kind of salary should I expect from London consultancies with 1 year experience as an Analyst at Accenture?

I’m working in analytics with some currently in Python and R, and some AWS exposure with the cloud fundamentals cert (which doesn’t mean much I know 😂) and would be looking for a similar data-focussed role.

If anyone knows of any open roles and would be happy to do a referral etc then please also let me know.

Thanks 😊

I've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity. However, I've had A LOT of recruiters reach out to me for positions that are way below my current salary. They do the whole "your background and expertise is exactly what we're looking for" then turn around and offer a salary range that is 20k below my current level. My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k

Do large law firms really recieve enough applications for a position that they cannot follow up when someone reaches out to check on thier application?

And also, how does one go about finding out why they were rejected, if thier qualifications are "impressive"?
