Anyone have advice on how to break into TMT strategy? Background has been in finance (both in industry and consulting). Wondering if this is even an option at this point.

It’s really hard unless you come from industry with a strong technical expertise or just kinda get lucky. I’ve seen strategy analysts break into it within a firm and tech consultants break into strategy.

It’s certainly not impossible, but if your above consultant level you may have to take a few steps back to get there and may not be worth it.

Altman Solon is hiring if interested in TMT strategy consulting. Feel free to DM
