Hello,
I have recently completed my MBA at a top European school. Following an internship at a Tier1 firm in the region (unfortunately, no return offer for the majority of the cohort), I've transitioned to a small niche consulting firm where responsibilities and salary are lower than MBA level and the role is primarily in operational support. I accepted it due to personal reasons that are not applicable anymore.
I'm concerned that remaining in my current role might impede my career progression. Therefore, I'm contemplating resigning and starting recruitment for consulting roles in Europe, leveraging my prior industry experience there. I believe that European consulting experience could strengthen my prospects of returning to the top league in the ME better than staying in my current role.
Should I stay in the firm or leave and at what stage (time duration, event (once I get an interview), etc.)?
What do you advise?
Thanks a lot for your support.
