I’ve only been in consulting since May and hate it. (It could be the firm) Anyone been able to exit successfully in such a short timeframe? What’s the longest I need to work to be able to exit laterally? I have 10+ YOE outside of consulting.

Guidehouse.

I felt the same exact way coming from industry. To be honest you are probably overwhelmed and uncomfortable. I would give it 1 full year before you make the decision to leave. In that time you’ll likely get more comfortable and who knows, you may like it.

Is it the actual work or the culture? That’s is how you need to decide. I’m not a fan of my new company culture, but I’m learning a lot so caught in the middle

Both probably.

I freaked out one night in a hotel after moving from industry to consulting. 6 years later and I'm about to move back to industry but glad I stuck it out.
Industry sometimes gets you 1 year of experience 6 times. Consulting you'll likely get 6-8 years of experience in those same 6 years.
