I am approaching my first promotion and I am not sure whether to stay for another level or leave while my experience is still broad. What should I evaluate before deciding whether another one or two years in consulting will actually add value?

Mayank G.CoachEvaluate whether the next level changes your skills, responsibilities, and future options enough to justify staying. A promotion is valuable when it gives you a meaningfully different role, not just another year on the same trajectory.
How can I tell whether I would actually enjoy consulting before I accept an offer?
- Consulting Career
I like the idea of consulting, but most of what I know comes from recruiting events and case prep. Before I commit to an offer, what are the best signals that I would actually enjoy the day-to-day work rather than just the recruiting process?

Is it a bad answer to say consulting appeals to me because of the exit opportunities?
- Consulting Career
Exit opportunities are honestly part of why consulting is attractive to me, but I know saying that in an interview could sound like I already want to leave. Should I avoid mentioning it completely?

Mayank G.CoachDo not make exit opportunities the core of your "why consulting" answer. Interviewers want to understand why you want the work and environment you are applying to now, not only what the brand may unlock later.
