Career switch to something that starts at low salary and can jump 10 times. Think SWE, you can be hired for 5 figure but once you get good and can go to startup or FAANG you can climb to $500-600k as individual contributor. I can’t think of any other job that has this potential and huge range
Sure that’s fair. I would agree partner takes a different skill set. I didn’t say it was mutually exclusive. I threw out one potential path

Analytics consulting/project management, I’ve heard big 4 consulting in advisory can be really lucrative over 10 years, but it’s all-In or nothing

I mean I think strategy consultant has the best path. Undergrad New hires starting at $100k+, 3yrs in making $250k+, 5-7yrs in making $400k+, 10-12 yrs in making 700k-2m.
Given how many roles there are I think it’s a relatively possible route.

Timeline would be similar across t2/MBB, MBB a little quicker even. Numbers at each level a little higher at A&M
Where are you seeing $700-2M? That’s partner level income right? How many people make partner in 10-12 years
Partner within 10-12y is the track btw
Rising Star
Lots. That’s 2.5 years as jr consultant to reach post-mba level (doesn’t require mba), 2yrs as sr consultant, 2.5yrs as project leader/engagement manager, 3-5 yrs as principal. Partner in 10-12 very achievable if you can maintain boundaries and last through grind.
Some people take 2 off for mba, so 12-14 years.
I guess I’m looking at numbers, there are far more SWE in the world than partners

Ok.

You people talking about 700-2m like wtf? I’m at CStrike happy at 160k as Red Team Lead with 5 YOE (maybe underpaid?) but you guys are ridiculous with those crazy numbers 🤣🤣🤣
