Don’t. It’s consulting without a team

If it’s giving you guap go for it.

Great exit. If you like the finance side more, you can likely exit to an investment team role if you really really wanted (unless BCG, then much less likely)

Didn't end up making the cut in Strategy consulting case interviews. Would really like to do strategy / S&O some day. I love using data to inform decision-making.

Wondering if it would make sense to continue consulting in implementation then try to pivot again in the future or at another level - or drop consulting & try to get a strategy job at a startup or maybe do something else at a larger company and try to pivot internally.

Background is tech + MBA. Any insight appreciated!
