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.

Agreed with the above
That being said, unless you are going into deals / strategy, you’ll likely cut your hours by at least 25-50%… even as a manager managing internal and external work, I typically do not do more than 45 hours a week.
On the flip side, if you want to go to industry, it would be better to leave via MBB, than KPMG
This is very useful, thanks 🙏🏼
I worked at 2 big 4 firms before exiting. Some of their practices sound really cool on paper but the day to day reality is a lot different - many of these practices are just vaporware. I can not imagine, except for maybe at Lighthouse, KPMG offers a better employee experience than you could get at McKinsey. Also, rarely are the consulting firms doing something “cool” or “special” - they are adjacent to clients who are doing cool things and sometimes get a window into those things. I thought I did “cool” stuff until I switched to my client and actually got exposed to true heart of the business projects that I didn’t have visibility into before.

What area would you be working in? Each group has its own micro culture.
It’s for the Sustainability Hub. I understand they’re starting this team.
