Senior Managers & equivalents - what’s defines a “good” exit from consulting for you? Would you ever talk to your MD about exit opps? Feeling sick of the grind and not sure I care about making MD

SM from accenture here - do what makes you happy, not what other people define as a good exit opportunity. I’m going back to school in June for a MS in Analytics after taking the last 9 months off.

32, SMR for 4 years (was promoted very fast), MD is probably 2 years off. Not sure if I should stick it out. Got contacted by a recruiter about an interesting opp. Role is in industry so a bit worried about it getting back to someone in the firm that I’m interviewing

Consulting pays more usually and has more delegations option than industry...where you need to be a much more hands-on (yes even making your own slides ), but no sales and utilization targets..

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer.

For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
