Start planning. Where will you be? What software will you use? What are your costs (rent, software, insurance). How will you market?

Alternatively - you can buy a practice. Find a firm that is looking for a successor. Plenty of firms need people to take over. No personal experience but my dad has a firm I my hometown so have seen some of this.
Also the Corp work we do has very little in common with what the small firms do. You probably want to switch to private wealth or go with the find a local firm option to gain exposure.

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?

McKinsey internal offer. Am level before partner at small boutique firm. Work in tiny but hot area (non-strategy). No desire to make partner as I don’t enjoy selling. Fewer YOE than most at my level. Exp mostly at small companies except for a B4/ACN. No MBA, masters from an Ivy but a less competitive program. Offer is similar to other industry offers in the past but haven’t looked recently. Current TC is on the high end in consulting but have had similar offers.

TC ~$290k (current) vs ~$160 McK
