Hi Jack! I worked in consulting at EY for four years before joining CEA in operations, and you might find a role in management/leadership/operations interesting. You might find a direct role that’s more fun than ETG (I think I did!)
I don’t really know anything about the best ETG routes, but one that strikes me that could be big business at the moment is insolvency and restructuring—lots of organisations will be unfortunately going through that so there could be quite a few roles.
Also a few friends of mine who were at PwC worked in deals/valuations and then left to get high-paying jobs doing (I think) the same thing at smaller places where the partners took less of the margin. Maybe that could be an option.
Thanks Louis. I am continuing to keep a look out for good direct roles as well. I actually did the economics masters with a hope to move away from management-type roles, but I don’t want to take them off the table entirely.
Unfortunately I just wasn’t into what I was doing at PwC (I was doing tech strategy after the grad scheme) and I don’t want to do that elsewhere. The money wasn’t really that good anyway. Something like deals/valuations seems OK, but it would be a big change for something that I don’t think is as much money as top econ consulting / finance roles. I quite like economics so I think econ consulting is a good option for me, but I also don’t want to rule out finance which is the area I’m most clueless about at the moment.
