Any advice on transitioning from a mid-tier firm to say a Big4/Accenture?

Of course, networking and interview prep is already on the list, and I'm learning Data Analytics skills like SQL and R, Tableau, and Power BI. Any other tactics or advice that any of y'all would have to make a successful transition?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
