People who exited from OW, how was the process ? Is the brand good for recruiting ? Was the time at OW worth it ? Would you recommend a move to MBB before exit ?

As someone that’s seen many friends exit consulting from a variety of firms (MBB, T2, boutiques, you name it), pls knock MBB off of its pedestal. All of them are doing just fine and are in jobs (particularly tech!) that make them happy. For the most part, the “quality” of exit I’ve seen is mainly driven by what they did in their jobs, rather than what companies they work at— what kind of stretch opportunities were they able to take on? What industries / types of cases did they serve?

There’s really no need to have MBB be a stepping stone to get what you want, unless you’re looking specifically for certain stuck-up PE shops / in-house strategy groups that tend to only recruit MBB. These groups are a really small % of opportunities out there— negative NPV in my view to switch firms, have to restart your network, and potentially get de-tenured all for a small bump in exit opportunities.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
