Leave consulting entirely and find a real career path😂

Pre-Tech me totally thought so. After being b*tched by seniors for a few years, I went into Product Management and I can definitely say it’s better paying, easier, and much more fun to do the b*tching.

Move to ibanking.

Know a lot of other companies other than consulting firms that have thousands of people making 7-figures annually plus pensions?

Did you not read my comment, C1? I asked “where else can you find companies where THOUSANDS OF WORKERS” make over 1M per year.

Exit to senior in industry and then go back to consulting after a decade or so in that. The coworkers I know that make the most came from high level industry.
More importantly find and do something you for the most part enjoy because working is a huge time investment of your life and no matter what you'll be making good money in this field.

I’m currently an HR specialist and trying to decide what I want my future to look like. I would like to step away from the transactional, administrative HR work. I’m fascinated by employee satisfaction and like the idea of helping to improve retention and leveraging metrics to improve toxic work environments (I’ve seen a fair share of dysfunction in my career). I’m thinking the Consultant route may be best for this. Any other thoughts of roles or titles that may align?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
