Hi ladies,

I've been thinking about what my career would look like post consulting. I know that I don't want to do it forever, but I don't know exactly what's next. What kind of transitions have you made into other roles or careers in your 30s and 40s? I'm looking for something less demanding as I think about family planning in the next few years.

Sanity check. Going to preface this by saying I'm not in a rush. I wanted to get some good consulting experience so joined EY out of UG. Got early promo, but I've reached the point where I'm no longer growing (learning) much on my current team. I've become very interested in PE and want to give that a shot. I lack the resume experience.

Thinking to move within EY to an M&A focused group SaT or EYP. Do ~2 years and see if I still want that. Will that tick the box for most PE shops?
