For the people who identify themselves as management consultant, what are the core skills required to them in their actual work. Is there any technical or functional skill also required? I am an MBA grad and for the last 2 years I am just handing IT implementation projects in TCS which they label as digital transformation. What should I do to crack mangement consulting firms' interviews? How to get interview calls? Any help please.

So I was working with Infosys and got into Accenture Strategy- Capability Network.
I just updated my Naukri profile ( you can get referrals too) .
I already had worked as a product analyst and a scrum master for two separate projects (total YOE: 3.5) . My interview questions were mainly about the fundamentals of the work I had done.
I feel core strategy and digital transformation projects are getting more intertwined these days so in my mind, I have stopped bifurcating b/w 'I.T. consulting' and 'management consulting' since I.T. is everywhere.
These are my two cents. The more reasons you give yourself that you can easily crack these organizations, the better your chances will get.
Not sure how helpful my answer is but thought of sharing! Good luck 🌼

So I am very new to this. Capability Network is a vertical under Accenture Strategy. My unit is PPE (Product and Platform Engineering) and my work entails enabling agile transformation as a PO/BA/SM. Honestly, I am joining because of the brand name, an impeccable hike (they pay really well), preferred location and I want to dive deeper into product management. I have seen many other technofunctional consultants also joining Capability Network. And I am joining into mgt consulting. Hope this helps!

For me, the fundamental skillset would be the art of storytelling and how you structure your deliverables. Also, some serious PPT and Excel skills would be required.

I also think so now. I interviewed few freshers yesterday for their campus drive. I couldn't understand half of the things they put on CV. So, my approach was to select those who are able to i) represent, communicate or convince.
ii) able to relate their curriculum knowledge with business problems iii) Do justice to the brainstorming questions, just basic thinking and application ( not looking for something out of box). iii was the least preferred criteria for me to select or reject.

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step. Im confident in the value I can provide and do well at presenting it. However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me
