Bain & Company I don’t know what I want to do later on. I have been in consulting for a few years as a generalist. I know some industries that I don’t enjoy working in but it doesn’t seem like there is a role/industry that I am super passionate about. I feel that Corp strategy in traditional industries as well as tech might fit. Additionally, product management/strategy/marketing might fit too. Since I haven’t worked in such a role, all those are fantasy. How should I make an exit plan. McKinsey & Company Bain & Company
