Winners never quit and quitters never win!

Anywhere from:

- Manager (maybe at a hot startup)
- SM (typical exit, in some sort of strategy function)
- Director (rare, usually if you have pre-MBA experience in target industry)

No need to be rude. Depending on the industry, it can. Maybe our anecdotal evidence is different, but I’ve seen SMs in strategy for large companies be anywhere in the spectrum of Bain M/new SM/new P range. For startups or smaller companies, I’ve seen the SMs in strategy be from the C1-M pool (ie the title bump that you’re considering). I’ve seen similar exits among friends at McK and BCG fwiw.

For an experienced SM, I’d agree that Associate Director or Director at a mid or large company is within range, but I’ve seen it be contingent on industry and scale of company. Startups generally give the title bump upon exit more readily across all tenures.
