Best exit options from management consulting? I’m currently a consultant at Accenture in their Strategy & Consulting practice. Debating on just switching to another consulting firm or going straight into industry and having more WLB. Any experience or advice would be helpful 😅

Honestly better than a lot of people may think, especially if you can hit manager level and fill up your time with the kinds of things that make you interesting that Accenture does well (think industry X, DARQ, innovation type stuff), etc. Happy to DM about my experiences but got interviews at like 80% of the places i was interested in including a couple wild offers.

Are you young and is school an option? I came from industry but it seemed like the former consultants that did the best left to go to business school and then to industry. The straight roll out if you’re at a lower level isn’t that great

Yes 27, school is an option but would prefer to learn hands on in the corporate world

What level are you? I just left accenture.

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I received praise for the work I did and to this day I still own all those responsibilities and some. We hired a backfill who has now decided to leave for cultural reasons, similar to my manager. I have been wanting to quit for sometime but wondering if this is a good opportunity to push for 20k more and leave in 4 months instead of next week.
