Project management is easily translatable to most companies. Of course, you may not want to do that.

It can definitely pigeon hole you. Especially if you frame your resume in the context of an implentation.

Find a way to describe other aspects of the job that may be more functional or strategic in nature to the job you're looking for

Use your consulting title vs project title on resume
