What are your career goals? Going from cyber to generalist consulting might not make sense depending on what your goals are.

I think general consulting will help my goals. Tbh my goals aren’t well defined, but I don’t want to work in cyber for the rest of my career. I don’t want to work in some company’s cost center, I don’t really want to do sales, and those two seem like the only exit opportunities for cyber consultants.
