How to search for exit opportunities as an MBB consultant
After 4 years of consulting, as a second year Associate/Consultant at an MBB I want to leave consulting.
I have absolutelly no clue how the job search works, where I should find roles and with whom I should speak.
For the record, I cannot take search time. I'm interested in two industries (tech, consumer) but clueless about whether I want to pursue big corporate or startup roles.
Any help about the practical next steps I should take would be highly appreciated.
Do you get messages from headhunters?
Also, location?
Which country are you based in?
If US, in my experience, you should be getting messages from headhunters almost daily--reply to them and ask for those opportunities specifically. Also, put your LinkedIn as "Open to Work" and you'll start getting inbounds.
Also... why would you not be able to take search time at MBB? At my MBB it was very common to take search time, not looked down upon at all.
If you've done 4 years, then at least half your starting class is gone so start asking them as well.
Gotta be honest, this post smells like a college kid LARPing as a Associate/Consultant...
I'm based in Europe. My firm offers search time in the US, but definitelly not here.
Ah, that makes sense. Forgive me for the last line in my post.
Let ya boy take your current role lol but in all seriousness, best of luck!
