Has anyone seen someone make the jump from m&a tax to a strategy role? Already have a (non-target) mba, so going back to school to help with the jump isn’t on the table. Just trying to test the waters to see if this is plausible

Not a jump I have seen, but these things always come down to how well you can network and who you know.

Sure why not

What are you looking for specifically? Consulting or industry, and if industry which one? What geographic location?

If staying in consulting the switch should be easier, just network. The fact that you have M&A background helps. Network with some senior folks in strategy/MGMT consulting and you can get in that way

Yes it can be done
