My take is that people get stuck in the consultant track because of imaginary expectations that do apply to the real world.....once listed to a 20 something tell me that if he didn't get his next promotion he would "pick up" an executive position in industry and "easily" pull in $250k because of his breadth of experience. I'm sure employers were lined up around the block.

Booz 1 highlights an important oxymoron - The dumb MC Exit Strategy 1.) negotiate rise and better package with new MC firm 2.) exit expecting better prospects 3.) join FB in frustration with MC life 4.) ask MCs on FB for good exit strategies 5.) Reconcile yourself that nobody has any smart exit strategies

The difficulty collecting lessons learned for this question is that people with proven successful exit strategies are nowhere to be found! 👥
