If the consulting world was like Squid Games, who all would play and how do you think it would end?

My theory - MBB, Tier 2, B4, WITCH would all play but most would end up double crossing each other and dying. In the end, EY would play the most fair and somehow win, and then turn absolutely evil.

I’d think none of the firms qualify to be players and would either be in a pink suit executing the players or be VIPs watching

I could see WITCH being players

B4 will play, T2 are guards, MBB is the man in black, FAANG - VIP

And at the end it turns out the mastermind was an MBB partner hired by the global consulting leaders (VIPs). All part of his SOW to help the consulting industry “re-org”

Culture is an individual trait. Companies have “values” they espouse so that they don’t get into trouble.
All the consulting firms have the ability to be ruthless if needed.

Would it be too soon to jump? Or should I stick around for better exits in a couple of years may be? I’m worried the frequent changes won’t look good on my resume
4 YOE overall, TC at Product Manager is about 20-25k > ACN.
