Who did the recent exit from MBB? What are the biggest pros and cons of exiting? I feel like I am a bit burnt out trying to balance between family and consulting work but at the same time feel like a step back in my career

I would hold until Feb before you consider. Only because industry is generally not making large decisions before then. Will enable you to understand options - alternatively reach out to your alumni (lots in Woolworths and Qantas) to see what they say.

Yeh and I would add this is natural for this time of year normally. But I’m feeling it more this year than previous years.

There’s a lot more anxiety in the air. Fishbowl doesn’t seem to have a critical mass of Australian consultants yet to provide a reliable barometer of this, but good luck finding someone who doesn’t feel this.

Usually, someone would answer “the biggest pro of exiting is the growth opportunities”, which, whilst a platitude, is broadly true. But, the circumstances this year make such a phrase ring hollow. This is because existing positions are less certain and possible positions (“opportunities”) are nebulous at best.

This zeitgeist is recent and it sucks, so don’t feel bad/weird for feeling it. It’ll swing back around, and it’s wise to realise we’re at some sort of apogee; things won’t continue in this trajectory, but rather slow, stop, and reverse. Hang in there.
