In econ consulting, most leave in 2-4 years for MBA, and occasionally PhD and JD. Most who pivot to a different field do so after MBA. Placement tends to be quite good in econ consulting, but BW may be a bit weaker than some of the other EC firms (Analysis Group, Cornerstone Research, CRA).

That being said, the skill set you'll develop in econ consulting is very marketable.
