To everyone who's interested in exploring exit opps from consulting -
I'm here to (shamelessly) promote some panels I've organized (in collaboration with my college alumni) that answer your very question!

We're doing a "careers in business & finance" speaker series featuring several panels that cover some popular paths people take after their 2-year stint in IB/consulting. These include startup business roles, product management, product marketing, private equity, etc.
More info in comments!!

We've got a pretty dope speaker lineup featuring people from the most recognizable/established names (e.g. Google, Mastercard, McKinsey, BCG, Spectrum Equity) to unicorn startups and series B startups. These are people like a lot of you here on FishBowl who're 3-5 years out of college and in their 2nd jobs and beyond. Check out their roles and companies below!

This is amazing! Signing up now!

This is cool. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Feel free to share this post/share with your network as well!

We interviewed a great candidate, extended a verbal offer and she accepted. We sent the written offer a few days ago but she hasn’t opened it or accepted (it’s expiring tomorrow). Have you ever had to follow up? How did you handle it? My company is small with no HR, so I have to handle the hiring myself.

If we actually did move to a single payer healthcare system (Medicare for all) and companies no longer offered healthcare plans, would you switch from staff to freelance?

I cleared two interview rounds for a Senior Consultant role, had a salary discussion with HR, then they shared a tentative salary structure and i have said ok to it over email. Then HR said next step will be me getting an offer letter 2 weeks later. Is it advisable to followup with them after 2 weeks or just let them do their thing slowly? I have seen posts here of them being very slow and not sharing the offer letter without followup.

🤷🏼‍♂️ In-house v. more trial experience? I’m a junior partner (insurance *coverage*) with one 2nd chair trial. I *might* have a few more trials in the next 3-4 years, but maybe not. Should I stick around 3-4 more years or go in-house at insurer now? My goal is to try to maximize my skill set and, if I go in-house, return to private practice eventually w/ some client contacts from my in-house work. Any advice??? I’m really conflicted on this. 🤔
