Hey guys,

I'm a top performing rep at my current company and have been here over a year. During the course of that time I've been thinking about what I really want to do and wanna lean into Consulting and give it a try.

So a couple questions:

Is this a possible career change coming from tech sales?
Any tips you guys have?
Are there any connections I should make or is there anyone who'd help me make this transition? (i.e. referrals, step by step help, outside connections)
