Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities
When is it best to leave consulting? Here's how I think about it.
First, are you enjoying it? If so, why leave (it can be a great life long career)?
Second, are you still learning fast? If not, you're missing out.
Last, what skills do most employers value? In my experience, this dictates 2 optimal jumping off points:
(a) 2-3 years in. Consulting "tool kit" is solid
(b) ~1-2 year into Manager. Employers value experience managing people.

Very unlikely you’ll exit at L6 as a new PL unless you have previous management experience in big tech before BCG. I exited to a PM role at level 5 after 1.5 years as PL
Mentor
Base, yes. TC, no!
Based on levels.fyi, total annual comp of $334k ($207k base) for L6 strategy and ops.
It will depend on your relevant experience, overall YOE, etc. Might be a bit tough though if you’re newly promoted, probably more attainable if you’re 1.5-2yr in PL tenure.

L6 is typically a tenured principal exit, unless you have relevant pre-BCG experience.
If PL exit as L6 then do APs exit as L7/8?
Subject Expert
PLs don’t typically exit as L6, especially not new PLs
I exited to L6 (albeit in Finance) as a C2 - it heavily depends on your YOE and interview performance. If you do well I think it's feasible!

That may be a possibility in finance, but you wouldn’t even be considered for a L6 in Strategy as a C2
