I am a manager and believe the exit opps are the best when you are a senior consultant/senior analyst. At this stage, you have relevant experience, but are not molded in any one specific direction too deep (for the most part) and there are more options available for you. At M I have struggled to find roles that pay me the same, have decent WLB and interesting work. I will either get way more money and way worse WLB, or something that doesn’t pay squat.

Following. Wondering the same thing.

Experienced Deloitte M will get you into SM positions in consulting type companies or Director level positions in industry. Financial services has its own hierarchy of titles that I'm not familiar with.

I think it also depends on type of service line you work in. Accounting seems more beneficial at the manager position. While consulting is great at senior

This is actually great input. I’m currently in Advisory (traditional management consulting type work)

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”.

Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?
