What does career path look like in industry post consulting? I am worried about just being stuck in the same role for 5-10 years. Is it necessary to lateral around in industry to go up in title?

You need to leave to a high level role that you will be content over the next 5 years. I left for a director role and am content staying for next 5 years with modest increasrs

There's no good answer. The path is not well defined and every situation is different. You could progress way faster than consulting or be stuck in your role for a while.

It also depends on the industry. In tech, especially a startup you could move up very fast. Whereas in government, you won't.
