Ex Deloitte (Strat Ops) here - Was in the same boat when I was outside. Post getting in and being a Hiring Manager, I realize its a lot of more complicated. For L6+ roles, HMs want to get in someone from their network / someone they can trust. L4/5 are easier to hire from outside. No EM from MBB/Big 4 wants to come in at 5.

Controversial question - what are some roles/functions to avoid at Google for ex-management consultants, in terms of potential under-utilization of skills and limited career progression? Common exit opps tend to be in StratOps, PMM, PgM/Solutions Consultant, roles in Sales; would anyone not recommend any of these roles?
