MBB consultants don’t exit into government. Although I do know a McK partner who went to govt for a few years but it was at a very high level (one level below cabinet secretary).

I would say at a minimum it should be at a GS 14

After 1-5? Probably never happened. After they've made partner and if they get an appointed position at deputy secretary? Sure. See Biniam Gebre

BG is a smart guy. Met him before.

That’s such a wide range. After 1 year, maybe a GS9. After 5 years anything less than a 14 and you played yourself

Yup. Exit to gov office or dept head / deputy.

Any consultant here who has worked at Citadel or knows someone who is working at Citadel? A recruiter from there reached out to me today, and I got the sense that the culture there is more intense compared to consulting. How would you compare Citadel vs MBB on the below points:

b) Diversity (I am an international student and a person of color, and my sense is that Citadel is not as international)
c) Comp trajectory

Thanks!

How realistic would it be to break $100K+ in jumping elsewhere? Either at C/SC level. Might be a silly question but I want see others perspective. TIA!
