GprabhumirMultiple promotions signal strong trajectory and external validation very early in your career. I also like that you tried stepping out briefly into industry instead of staying on one linear consulting track. But in the larger story, I wonder how big of an impact this 5 month stint would really have.
Since you are fairly young and may have to wait 1–2 years to have an even better chance at a top B school, you may consider taking a slightly challenging bet and looking for outside opportunities that add a new dimension to your profile. Think in terms of getting international exposure, high growth startup roles in strategy/founder’s office, etc., that will look like a real takeoff point in your career.
If you are targeting INSEAD, think about what the upside is for you in staying at Deloitte except that you know, and now we all know, that you will do well in this environment, which seems to be your comfort zone. It could really become something if you are also able to show risk taking abilities and perform very well in a contrasting field, setup or industry.
Your extracurriculars also add personality and are not something I have heard commonly from the standard consulting pool. Feel free to discuss personally how you could plan better for INSEAD.
