At what level should I leave consulting? Do I need to exit at a more junior level and work my way up through the firm?

Similar spot. What does your dream company value? Loyalty?

If you had to get me to pin down a level at which to exit, I’d say experienced Manager

You are probably more than qualified. U should probably just apply, I’m sure You will get some callbacks.

@OP looking to pivot within the firm to Ops . Would you be willing to connect?

I don’t know who needs to hear this (mostly As, Cs, SCs, and some Ms) but here goes.

You are important to the project, but never so important that you cannot leave the project or firm for better opportunities. Being in hero mode is good where you save the day, everyday - but in fact that is neither advisable for your progression nor a recommended practice for the firm. If you have been performing and have had decent social skills, you will not have burnt a bridge when you leave.
