Hi,

From a BCG perspective these are the roles that I have seen people transition to:

Learning & Development
People (HR)
Recruiting
Career Development / Staffing

Hope this helps to clarify!

Ex-MBB, Experienced Hire; I will teach you not only the how, but also the why of case interviews

I have seen a lot of former colleagues either transfer internally or even come back to non-consulting positions. Fair warning though: you will still travel - sometimes even quite a lot.

Hi,

Agree with all the below.

Most probably you will have travel no matter what, sometimes even more
The transition is quite easy, however, you should have good performance to have the negotiating power
Salary most probably will be lower / will grow more slowly
