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.
I exited to tech. Was fine for recruiting
