Guys, a query from me - got an offer from a reputed renewable industry company so wanted to know if I'll be going downhill or uphill in my career. Note: Position is in Europe, naturally way better money than India, and its an ex client wanting me to join them. He is keen to get me in.

When is it best to leave consulting? Here's how I think about it.
First, are you enjoying it? If so, why leave (it can be a great life long career)?
Second, are you still learning fast? If not, you're missing out.
Last, what skills do most employers value? In my experience, this dictates 2 optimal jumping off points:
(a) 2-3 years in. Consulting "tool kit" is solid
(b) ~1-2 year into Manager. Employers value experience managing people.

Very different roles
PE ops S& is probably a better role - more operational work
PE deal team - definitely LEK. PE firms actively recruit here, whereas S& its hard to identify the opportunities
Corp dev - probably still LEK because of heavy M&A work
Strategy - probably a toss up depending on industry, location, and role emphasis
Just my two cents
Boost but not by enough to justify imo. Just get on some CDDs or ODDs to get that experience - S& has plenty of both
Probably more experience and alumni network than reputation. Obviously MBB is going to have a leg up on LEK or S& because of all of the above.
Your time is going to be better spent researching and networking for PE recruiting than figuring out which firm is marginally better than another. That being said, If you can make the jump to MBB, go for it.
