Hi all, looking for some guidance on potential exit opportunities from consulting. I have 8+ years of experience across retail, CPG, financial services, healthcare, and entertainment, along with an MBA from a top Canadian business school. I am currently at a base salary of ~$225k + bonus and am exploring either boutique consulting firms or industry roles with total compensation of $250K+.For those who have made a similar move, what firms, roles, or levels would be the most realistic fit? TIA

You’d likely need to target director + roles at large multinationals which have equity portions as part of comp. with 8 yrs of experience though, do you have the leadership skills (significant people manager experience)?

Also curious on this…

Are you at MBB or T2 currently?

AlixPartners will probably pay you that but it’s a grind. Are we counting that as boutique?

OP is likely MBB - do you think it’ll be more of a grind than that?

They paid us for the 24x7 monitoring and the software for MONTHS. When they realized it, we owed them almost $27k.
