So rare

I would say it's INCREDIBLY rare -- I have never seen anyone exit into B4 consulting. Even if you're counseled out, most are done with consulting.

It does happen, but it’s senior folks who get counseled out. Non-competes usually keep them from going direct - they wait a year or two - which is why on the MBB side folks don’t often hear about it.

I think more end up at boutiques than B4

Someone moved to my team from MBB below PPD 👀

What's PPD

Partner, Principal, Director

Yea we've got a decent amount. C1 is mistaken

We see this a lot. Some MBB partners get counseled out.

This happened to a partner from my office who was counseled out - but we only heard about it when someone ran into him on a train a few years later. He peaced without a word (at least to the office junior staff). But yeah that's the only level I've heard of it.

I've become really jaded about consulting.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
