Is it really THAT bad to leave big four before hitting senior associate? Joined right out of undergrad. Don’t know how vastly different the exit ops are leaving as SA vs EA.

It’s always good to show promotions. Besides SA promotion is automatic, unless you mess up

If you have a good reason why you want to leave consulting and your resume is solid, being a SA vs EA won't magically open up more exit ops.

Ill be hitting 1.5 years and planning on leaving at that mark for a new gig, all i know is the hours kill me and I'm not passionate about the work i do, so why stay to get a title im not interested in pursuing either way. I've done solid work and great reviews, but that still doesn't make me like the job, just tells me it's time i leave

I have a couple of questions for ZS fishes-

1. Is it possible to turn down a promotion at ZS? I'm currently happy with my responsibilities as a Decision Analytics Consultant and don't want any added responsibilities in the near future (next 5 years)

2. Is it possible to shape up a career path in the BC stream which doesn't involve business development? I don't want to get into working on SOWs and RFPs.
