Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities
I have a fair amount of retail experience and have created a bowl to help fellow consultants who are interviewing in retail and CPG. My experience is across a wide range of topics (primarily non technical) and would love to help folks get their dream job. Would be awesome if others can join and contribute their knowledge.

I would say it’s not as good given MBB has lowered their bar of talent when hiring.

Sorry A2- I definitely think being part of a company you can judge recruiting standards.
A1 I’m curious about their perspective on MBB
For a 2nd year EM/PL, seeing very few exits that match comp. Specially after significant bonuses from MBB this year. Mostly IC roles.

You will likely still get a higher level as an IC with higher compensation vs. leaving earlier. People management isn’t everything. For example, you may get a “Director of Strategy” role where you’re only directing yourself, but the scope is larger. There’s even partners that move to industry as ICs. People managed != scope/pay.
The type of management (short-term, external) that we do in consulting is somewhat different than managing in industry (long-term, internal) so the experience doesn’t translate over 1:1.
Also if you’re moving into a consulting-esque role and setup it’s an easier transition to people management, whereas if it’s more functional/operational in nature it’s harder since you may not have had that experience in the past.
Not as good as a year ago. Way less recruiting reach outs, especially from tech and PE.
