PE focused consulting exit opps
What are exit opps from the PE focused Consulting shops/groups (e.g. LEK, EYP, Bain, etc). Is it just MM PE, or is Growth Equity, VC, and even BB IB (like GS) possible?

Hey fdsbnjakbhvb, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:
More suggestions...
Hope that helps.
lol @ BB IB being an "exit opp" - GS/MS and MBB recruit the same caliber of candidates at the undergrad level. i think you see far more people moving the opposite direction for lifestyle and culture reasons
otherwise, yes pretty much all of the things you listed are possible. MBB -> consultant friendly MF/UMM is also very doable.
Even from a non MBB like LEK or EYP?
I'm sure it's possible, just very difficult. These days, MBB first year analysts are looked at by the same headhunters. High performing ones will typically be referred into processes by analysts who recruited in earlier cycles. I don't think the same pipeline exists at T2 shops. The less "prestigious" the opportunity, the easier it will be to recruit from a T2.
EYP and LEK no chance
Do some LinkedIn searching- that is way more insightful than anyone here would be.
