Hey fishes, I'm currently an analyst at IBM and looking to get into management consulting. My plan is to transfer to IBM consulting and then make my way into management consulting after. The problem is idk what consulting position to apply for at IBM that would help me get into management consulting. Would strategy consulting help get my foot in the door for bigger consulting firms?

I’m in a somewhat similar situation. I’ve gotten my foot in the door with client ops consulting for B2C and B2B over the last 3 years and am starting to have a strong interest in management consulting.

I would suggest anything with strategy/transformation related elements is a meaningful move towards management consulting.
