Thinking about exits generally, can people give me examples of typical exits of unspecialised consultants from top firms, about 2-3 years tenure. Like MBB OW LEK etc type firms

Exiting at a consultant level you are probably looking at a strategy manager role in FTSE 50 / F500 company with similar pay or more likely less.

Definitely less unless it’s in Financial services, I recently went for a FTSE100 strat manager role that was offering £75k tops for somebody with 4-6 years experience.

Unless you go into specific industries such as finance, you’ll likely see a pay cut. Most places don’t pay as much as consulting. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, you’re best off networking and speaking to former clients if you want that.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
