What do exit opportunities typically look like for a Big 4 consulting Director (recently made the grade)? Is going into industry the main play? Start-ups? MBB? Can one segway, say, into PE as an SME?

You can probably segway into a PE firm, but they will look at you like you’re odd and ask you to get off

Just be a partner at your firm. Why are you trying to start over?

Agree. And hence the brand value which is attractive

MBB would be a great exit and then go PE

What level would they move to at MBB?
