Current MBB consultant. Are there restrictions on taking public equity investing roles from consulting, since we theoretically could’ve been exposed to material non-public info? Required “garden leave” at all?

Nope. Know several people who've done it.

Nope - they went straight but they were also fairly junior when they left so the risk they had real MNPI (vs. org strategy for procurement division of a subsidiary) was low.

What kind of firms are you looking at for public equity investing? I feel generally they aren’t as open to consultants?

There are a good number of hedge fund opps, probably not as common as PE but dynamics search partners does a lot of HF

Probably a month off tbh, you are required not to disclose or trade on non public info (which becomes stale after a month) - some firms will just trust you to abide by compliance regs
