How are the exit opportunities for Consulting folks nowadays? And at what levels (e.g. manager, director) would you find the best exit ops?

Looking at tech, industrials/energy, healthcare, telecom, defence - open to hearing about anything though

Cheers!

I silently quit the company I was in for 3 months. It came to the stage of a company wide restructuring but also being given role clarity - I'm a mid tier manager, I finally hit breaking point 1 week out before my 40, But essentially realised I can't be in a tier 1, consultancy where you are asked to trust the system will give you resources, billable hours and utilisation all they care about.. climbing the ladder is the only real way to make impact. Abit of advice team, learn AI efficiency really well and the oppotunies are endless.
I've exited consulting, though I did construction also. I'm now giving a go at start ups. There is so much money and support in that area. You just need a really good idea and road map of the problem and how you can solve it. there are alot of opportunities there which the tier 1 players can't get into due to their beaucracy.

The real exit opps are at SC and M in the Australian market. Above that it's just lateral moves into industry that remove the potential (even if unlikely) of one day snagging a partner berth...

I have my annual review coming up and want to hear thoughts on what a reasonable raise expectation is.

If I was a junior on a team during a campaign launch, is that something I can put in my book? I helped during the concepting phase, was responsible for keeping the boards up to date, and wrote a lot of the supporting materials (print, social etc) but obviously I was not on the shoot or the lead on writing the script. As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?
