One of the reasons so many people stay in consulting is that consulting partner is pretty much the highest probability way there is to make a million dollars.
Probabilities are lower, to get in and to stay in.
Start a search fund, acquire a small business and become a CEO
You won’t get to $1m comp probably but you’ll get a good payout in 5years or so
Think you could pivot to a D1 football coach? In all seriousness, there are very limited jobs that pay a million a year. A heart surgeon makes half million on average. If a million is your goal, get back in consulting quick and start working up the ranks to partner (and that is at a strategy firm, not big 4 on your timeline).

If you come back as SM you might not be too far off at big 4. 3-5 years to partner. 5 years to 1M.
Should have stayed at BCG and made partner? (Real partner, not “Partner”)

My boss did HBS=> McK for 5 years => joined a startup that was looking for an exit => exit happened when he was 40. He negotiated a CEO role at exit because the founder wanted to take a break. He was in a position to negotiate his own comp, and company filings show his comp is close to 1million pounds. He has been coasting as CEO since 2012.
What is “mediocre compensation” to you?

I don’t think you will break $1mm in FMCG. You need to be BCG partner or need an exit.
Or come to Deloitte!
Hi, I’m looking at a similar role/exit. Wouldn’t a PE firm be a good exit? Also, can I DM you - are you willing to chat more about your experience?
So anything less the $1M is mediocre? And here I was hoping my next roll nets me $400k+. Lol

Huh why didn’t you stay at BCG then?
How much do you make now?
What’s stopping you from hitting VP/SVP at your current firm in the next 5-10 years? That would net you off the 1m.
The likelihood is low, but I’ve seen a handful of people making it happen. They were above average but had a good sponsor network supporting and pulling them up.
