When do you feel exit ops improve noticeably? I’m an SA at a T2, and while I am fairly certain I don’t want the Partner lifestyle, I can keep doing good work here for a few more years. When do the best exit ops start surfacing? mgr? director?

You have more exit options as a SA or a Manager. I would stay until Manager and spend 2 years running engagents. You can then exit in a Director role in the industry. If you want to stick it around and get to Sr Manager/Director in Consulting, there will still be good exit opportunities but far fewer.
