To those that started off at Accenture strategy consulting, what were your exit opportunities? Where did that career path lead you?

Consultant/manager exits I’ve seen include: director/SM levels for strat/ops at big tech (Microsoft, Amazon, Netapp, Doordash) and consumer goods (Nike, CVS), VP levels in finance (non-IB), and associate/consultant levels at MBB (typically dropping a level)

Seen plenty of laterals in the last couple years too. From both strat and MC.

MBB, f500 Director role…

like

Solid exits. MBB, Director - F500 VP roles, tons of people to BizOps FAANG etc. I personally don’t see a ton of exits to PE (aside from a very recent and high profile example).

like

Honestly the exits i saw when i left at the M level, including my own offers, were phenomenal. Similar to what others are saying here. I’m sure MBB exits overall are better, especially if you’ve been with one client at an mbb for years and then exit to work for them, but it’s hard to imagine the overall outcomes being a ton better than what i saw.

like

Posted it earlier on the thread - MBB laterals and downlevels, f500 directors, FAANG, other tech companies, startups, T2, some PE S&O roles, Goldman Sachs and equivalents, m7 mba programs, VC, health system leadership, etc.

OP wants to know if he wants to use ACN as a career step + exit to industry

Yeah this exactly

Anyone have recommendations on how to switch to a client side role in a different city/part of the country?

It would be a big move geographically but I'm worried me being far away will knock me out of the running despite qualifications. Any advice?

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

They are young and coachable, and I offered to put time into that. However at a company event they made no effort to get to know the team and chose to stick to their familiar colleagues in their home office. I’d like to ask for a new resource but interested in feedback.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
