What’s a relatively chill post consulting job (post MBA) that pays $200k+ base? No work on weekends (including checking email), 9am-6pm (or earlier). Predictable. Limited travel. Job security. How many YOE post mba needed? What sort of project experience would most help get the job? Coming from big 4 strat… Also thinking about trying to lateral to MBB to improve chances. I know there are multiple answers to this just want to hear a few based on folks’ personal experience. Industry agnostic

AVP or (more often) VP at a major insurance company. Probably 1-4 yoe post-MBA needed.

Big 4 or anywhere else relevant to the subject matter at hand. Real estate, compliance, risk, operations, IT, regulatory, strategy, you name it. Just do a search for the biggest companies. Think Prudential, MetLife, etc. Same goes for any major bank or financial services firm, but the pace and personalities will be more intense. Keep in mind you'll see more grey hairs at these types of places, but definitely possible to get in with less experience.

Not base but product management can pay that in TC. No travel, not super predictable but you will build a routine in a few months. Imo awesome gig despite being overrated.
