I am currently a consultant at FTI/A&M (before I worked in RX IB at either Laz/Moelis and hated it) - no interest in HF/PE or going back to the sell-side. What are some interesting exit opportunities you'd envision for someone of my background?

If you're not interested in PE from a Port Co operating perspective, I would think Corp Fin at a client, Corp Strat in general or work your way up to Partner.
I'd be interested in portfolio ops, don't know much about it
I'm referring to operations improvement efforts within the portfolio companies of a PE shop. The Big 3 RX Consulting firms work with a ton of PE shops and their holdings. I would think if you get good experience working on the debtor side (restructuring or process improvement), you might be able to snag a position with a PE shop and help run their underlying portfolio companies. In lots of cases, these shops become interim leaders of the distressed company (CEO, CFO, CMO, etc.) Successful turnaround experience would be really interesting to a PE shop as those represent big wins.
Fair. What is comp like for those roles?
No idea on comp but I imagine quite good because the exits would be after several yrs of experience in turnaround / restructuring consulting. Those positions pay pretty well so I'm assuming you get an upward trajectory. Could be equity involved too.
you could look into roles at firms that conduct the actual asset valuations/liquidations of companies going through the bankruptcy process. I'm sure you're familiar with the big players. For pure corporate jobs, I'd assume most doors would be open and it's just dependent on where your interests lie and your story. I keep thinking of things credit related based on your RX background and Square Capital comes to mind. It's their vertical that provides small business loans to Square merchants
