Supply chain at Big Four / Accenture or maybe even Kearney should be within reach. If you get lucky with MBB, they would probably hire you as entry level

5 yoe to break in as associate, at least for McKinsey. That’s why I consider switching only after MBA. Masters is not as valuable as prestige of your bachelor’s.

Interviewing soon with EY for a senior role (TD FSO). I originally applied for their core practice but the recruiter convinced me that since I’m coming from a financial services audit background, I’d be better suited for their FSO practice. Assuming I get the job, would exit opportunities be worse if I am in FSO instead of the core group? Thanks!
