Has anyone used exit opportunities to get early promotions within consulting? For example if I’m 1 year away from promotion at D, could I apply for a role that’s a level up at another firm? Is this something that’s doable and happens often? How does one pull this off? Will you be forced to stay in that next level for longer at your new firm?

I seriously doubt it. Would you believe someone if they told you that they are totally a high-performer and are def getting promoted this year?

If you’re staying within B4 or going lower, maybe you could pull this off. Won’t happen at MBB or T2. Also probably won’t happen in most industry exit oops.

I could show them my iRPM dashboard...jk, I get your point. Yeah obviously not for MBB, I would even take a demotion to go there tbh. Moreso for move to another B4 for raise/promo.

Am I thinking too much into it or is it not a good sign?
