End goal is for solid exit opportunities

Consulting unless you want to be a specialist in a specific area/track/skill. You can still focus on an industry in consulting, like in an internal role, but, in my opinion, gain more exposure and, in the eyes of recruiters, “skills”

Internal? No chance - get out in the industry in front of clients.

Why join consulting if your goal is exit opportunities?

Chances to transition from internal MBB to client facing? Once you are in the door? Not sure if that strategy works there.

@d1 actually I've seen multiple cases of this happening but it takes time. Only folks who've worked for at least a year or two and proven themselves will really be given the consideration when they put their hands up to become consultants.

The rates might be deceptively low because many business support team members are happy doing what they do and don't want to join the consulting side. Also you don't get many folks who want to become consultants employ this strategy because of how much time it takes.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.
