We always hear/read about exit opps for Strategy Consultants. What are some good Exit opps for Tech Consultants? I imagine PE/Corp Dev work is out, so do we just target Tech Director type positions?

I am going to Amazon, not a director level role though.

I was doing business analyst work on tech projects and a few assessments and strategy projects. Huge learning curve indeed. Worked on two projects in industry- new market entry and regional expansion. Learning curve with modelling macro and micro economic analysis and just various forms of analysis. A lot of learning from ex manager as an analyst. Left because missed travel and fast paced lifestyle and always delivering to client. In strategy consulting now. Looking to move to boutique

Director? What level are you

To provide more background, I primarily work on tech implementations - think Oracle/SAP/Salesforce and focus on the functional aspects of process improvements for a particular client group/entity. Usually leading requirements/process modeling and then the implementation itself. I'm not sure how these skills translate into exit opps

Nice KPMG1! Thanks for sharing! What type of boutiques are you looking at?

@K1. Thanks for this. In a very similar position. Sounds like while your heart is in consulting, industry was the right move at the time and helped open good options for you

@M1, any perks salary differences etc? Will you be based out of Seattle

Good luck!

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
