Hello, I'm a mechanical engineer with 8m of experience in the cement industry as a maintenance planner. However, my passion lies in design engineering, particularly in vehicledynamics. I've developed skills relevant to vehicle dynamics engineering through internships and involvement in student racing clubs. Despite applying for design engineer positions, I've had no luck so far. I'm considering leaving the mechanical field and exploring opportunities in data science. what's your opinion on this?

Didn't end up making the cut in Strategy consulting case interviews. Would really like to do strategy / S&O some day. I love using data to inform decision-making.

Wondering if it would make sense to continue consulting in implementation then try to pivot again in the future or at another level - or drop consulting & try to get a strategy job at a startup or maybe do something else at a larger company and try to pivot internally.

Background is tech + MBA. Any insight appreciated!

A friend has offers for Bain and BCG Dubai at the consultant level (joining just after his MBA) and he is confused on which one to take. Any thoughts to help him make a decision? Things he cares about are total compensation, career progression, mobility/ transfers to other offices and casework focus on tech (if any).
