If I want to exit to tech after MBB, should I try to get staffed on as many TMT projects as possible during my time? Ex. If I want to exit to Product Mgmt at a FAANG, should I try to get staffed on only TMT projects, or can I branch out and still be okay?

You still have to really network and do PM style roles where you are; solve for role vs industry on your projects

People think MBB is a golden ticket to PM at FAANG but it’s not

If you want to do PM, go for function rather than industry. Do note:

Also we typically don’t do PM work for tech companies because they have PMs. There are some industry’s/companies that desperate enough to hire MBB consultants as PMs, but not common.

You should just do what interests you, chances that you will do PM/PM adjacent work at MBB is small anyways.
