How should I think about how to navigate my career long term? Currently at a T2 focused on 75% M&A (ODD, Standalone Cost, Benchmarking, etc.) and 25% strategy (Operating Model Redesign, Cost Takeout, etc.). I’m not even entirely sure how I would pivot into an industry job because I feel like I don’t have real skills outside of the work I do so I keep thinking the only path is to try and make partner at either my firm or another.

Focus on cost takeout and OpModel design. Everything else is almost a commodity… the market is flooded with big 4 consultants who can run any ODD and associated work to the ground.
Add to OpModel know-how with detailed end to end process knowledge. Go deep on cost takeout and the different levers based on cogs vs sg&a costs. Pick a sector - the more complex the better; healthcare and life sciences is a gold mine.
And upskill on AI so you become output focussed vs hours focussed.

Good luck.

What is your work day like as a manager? I recently made the transition from being an individual contributor to a team manager and I feel that I have time at hand that I'm not using wisely. My day includes giving directions to the team, reviewing their output, aligning plan & work with seniors and clients. In between these activities, when I have time to myself, I sometimes read up on related topics. Is there anything else I should be doing to make effective use of time?
