Maybe start by breaking down all the firm-specific acronyms.

MC = Management Consulting
MBB = McKinsey, Bain and Co, and Boston Consulting ( top consulting firms)
FAANG = Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google (top tech firms)

What should I do?

I think you answered your own question.... Obtain the right background, and start networking with your target firms/companies.

I spent a year in tax investigations where I believe I was thriving ( I was going to be an assistant manager in July 2023), I had a lot of assistant manager jobs, I even drafted a Code 9 report to HMRC which my manager said was 80% of an actual report, he then added the 20% and submitted it.
After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.
