I just left t2 strategy for a boutique firm, and I already regret it. I thought I liked consulting but wanted a different culture, but I realize that I don’t like strategy consulting- the timelines are too stressful and I don’t want to travel anymore.
I’ve only been at this company a month- is it way too early to start applying elsewhere? I feel like I made a mistake and I don’t want to miss out on the “great reshuffling” with all these great opportunities.

Yes you can leave. If you're worried about being a job hopper in the future you can just leave your current job off your resume

Evaluate what you want. Agreed the great reshuffling opens a lot of doors.

ED is typically 10+ years in industry. Sometimes 15+ depending on the company/role.

Principal is usually the equivalent to ED (which makes sense given similarity in salary/TC).
