I'm finally ready to leave Strategy& and rise to the top of the totem pole, but I don't know how! My professor had said that every door will be open to me after 5 years of strategy consulting, though IB and PE have been the extent of this "every door." I've been trying so hard to join a company C suite, and surprise, nobody wants to hire a 27 year old CEO. 😞

Yeah, started in PEVC, and now do turnaround consulting work.

Other than be a CEO, what do you want to do?

Preferably something within upper management.

I receive a number of solicitations from headhunters/recruiters pitching jobs for specific corporate functions, but these roles sound so limiting...
