The exit for econ consulting is a PhD program
That said, not all economic consulting firms are created equal. Econ consulting firms as a whole are much less known, so prestige takes a significant hit (vs. mgmt consulting) unless you're at one of the big name companies.
As for exit opps, management consulting generally opens more doors if compared to an econ consulting firm of similar prestige. Econ consulting, due to its heavily analytical nature, will bode well for more quantitative tracks in business or graduate/Ph.D programs.
