Exit opportunities from big 4 consulting in Canada .
Reached the 2 year mark as a senior consultant for KPMG Canada. I do mostly Strategy consulting work. Severely underpaid (less than 65k). I hold a JD/MBA and have 5 years of government experience prior to joining consulting. Any suggestions on exit opportunities?

Go to a US firm for a year to get your salary boosted then probably pivot to industry? Maybe defense?

Have you applied to other big4s? I have 2YOE in tech consulting and was offered 80k from Deloitte Canada before negotiations.

And I just applied to another big 4 firm in another Canadian city.

How can your comp be that low? From what I've seen new grads make ~65k. Try transferring to another firm with a title bump or talk to some recruiters, the financial services industry is hot and pays well in Canada

It’s a smaller officer (not Toronto). The junior consultants start out at 50k. This is all based off cost of living.
