Is MBB > Tech still a common pathway for an exit? Coming up on my second year post-MBA and ready to leave consulting for good, but haven’t seen many options on the market, ideally big tech in London (but honestly open to anything in tech with good WLB and a 80k+ paycheck)

I have some seen some exits 1.5 years post MBA MBB in the 110k + bonus + equity range in tech in London. Exits are generally far and few in between though in this economy and I’m not sure if it’ll improve over the next year or so

You can make much much more than 80k. Current market is not the best though. Look for promising tech scale-ups!
