Currently a director at EYP in the TSE group (working mainly on PMO projects). I’m thinking about moving to MBB for better exit opportunities in a few years, such as startups, FAANG, PE. On the other hand, I can potentially get promoted to SD in 2 years. Any thoughts?

Interesting because I’m at EY and have these exit opportunities now. I am confused as to why you don’t think those are current exit strategies and you think that MBB is the only route to get there.

Depends on your age / YOE. If mid 20s MBB is a no brainer. If early 30s go directly for those exits.

So you’re a manager. You don’t need to hop to MBB to get good exits. You’re a ways off it seems right now in making a move so I’d focus on the present and keep grinding.

Does MBB level down for their experienced hires?

Sometimes they do. May not be such a bad thing so that you have a little runway to establish an internal network / platform and to learn the firm-specific ways of doing things

like

Have you tried to apply or have conversations while in your current role? To see if moving to MBB would provide better exits.

Not yet. Still trying to determine the best approach and plan my exit from consulting. Will reach out to friends from B-School if I decide to switch.

Previously worked at a T2 as manager and moved to BCG recently FWIW.

What level did you enter BCG at?

How many years do you have at the Director level?

I understand Director is the manager-equivalent level at EYP

What is TSE? Just curious

Transaction strategy and execution. Which is why I'm confused by OPs post. They should be able to pivot the way they are inquiring about - especially PE.
