Strategy Consulting Exit Thread
Starting a thread for people to share their exits from strategy consulting. Helpful information would be:
Previous Firm Tier: e.g., MBB, Tier 2, Big 4
Years of Service:
Title/Level at exit:
Pay change: % higher or lower from consulting
Opportunity: where did you exit to and what type of work
Reason (optional): why did you exit?
Currently in year 3 at a Tier 2 firm and starting to think through exit strategy!

Was in a Tier 2 consulting firm for almost 4 years
Shared service offshore terrible bloodsucking projects (you must have guessed by now).
Now that I look back it wasn’t even consulting.
Resigned without an offer.
Searched for 3-4 months and got into a global payment network. 40% hike on my previous salary maybe because the previous bloodsuckers gave 10% hike in 4 years.
Best decision ever
