That's not the right way to think about this. At the analyst/associate level, you do the study, and then move onto something else. You rarely find out what happened - occasionally the team will get an email a few months later from a senior partner with an update, but that's not common.
At the partner level, you don't do isolated projects and move on - you have a continuous relationship with the executives that you serve. That doesn't mean that you always have an actual project going on, but senior partners sit down with their major clients pretty frequently to talk about their businesses, and these conversations are where the next project comes from. Because of that, there's a pretty continuous dialogue about how previous work is working out - it's not like the consulting firm disappears once the final readout is done and then comes back X years down the road to see if it worked.
Oh alright thank you 2x2, we had consultants in this past month and I just wondered if I'd ever see them again or how the relationship works but the partner level explanation makes sense.
If we've done a good job, our updates will come from the PMO team.
I've worked on a number of cases where the P said "I did this case when I was a C2." You do often see some continuity. However, given the turnover at MBB, the math says that in 5 years the chances are, the consultants or associates who did a particular project aren't going to be around anymore.
