There have been a few threads, but not too much information on how exit opportunities look after consulting at firms other than MBB , e.g., OW, Booz, ATK, LEK, Deloitte , PwC , Accenture , E&Y. The only common theme is "MBA" but is there anything else? Any strong exits into finance (IB/VC), VC ,...

Where can I go from FP&A role at tech company? (exit opps)
I have a job doing financial planning and analysis (FP&A) at a (mature and midsize) tech company when I graduate. I don't want to get too specific about what they do.

Trader -> Hedge fund manager -> Bum
You slog it out as a Trader for a few years and realise that you're a boss. You become a PM and realise you're a boss. Other bosses realise you're a boss and they along with all their boss friends give you some money to play with. You become a hedge fund manger and confirm to all that you're a boss....

Exit opps for top vs middle vs bad groups at BBs
What is the mix of exit opps in a top group's analyst class ( GS TMT , MS M&A , etc) vs average groups vs less strong groups ( UBS FIG or something)? Assume a bulge bracket firm. My guess is that most of MS M&A goes to megafunds if they choose or maybe HF or MM PE if they prefer that. I'm sure that...

The Ultimate Exit Opp
I know everyone talks about how they're working in IB for the ExitOpps, so I figured I'd share my experience and how I got mine. Growing up an only child, I never really had much interaction with children (I was educated by private tutors my whole life), so I really wanted to give back in some way...
DCM Sovereign Coverage
DCM gets a lot of flak and covering Sovereigns' needs in the debt capital markets would traditionally seem like a pretty dry role at any other time in history. However, given everything going on with Europe and the fact that this exact issue (Eurozone countries and like facing troubling times in...

Exit Opps from Accenture, Deloitte, and The Monitor Group
I can't seem to find any old threads that address the exit opps that come after working at Accenture and Deloitte. The only information that I've gotten from reading about these two firms is: Deloitte isn't good, and Accenture is the "kiss of death". I know these two firms don't compare to MBB but...

Citi: Power versus Energy?
Most banks have a single power and energy group, but I noticed Citi has split theirs. What is the difference? And what would the exit opps from each be, assuming NYC?

I recently landed an IB gig at a prestigious desk, thanks in part to clever GPA rounding techniques that I learned on WSO .
