Are you actually interested in any of those careers or are you going based off what a test says you may be good at?
Makes sense. I am working on it at the moment. Right now it does seem like a stretch honestly, but I am going to shoot my shot regardless. Thanks for the advice again.

Gallup Assessment suggests what key strengths one has that are well-aligned and can elevate their skills. ACN strongly believes and does Gallup Strengths but you have to chalk out what skills/projects and experiences you have gained?? If you are keen in consulting then from M.Engineering standpoint, you can be a good fit in operations, supply chain, manufacturing etc.
look for roles on company portals and tag those organizations here along with mention of which location. DM folks for referrals or reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn by searching “hiring”’in search tab and look accordingly.
Thanks. That is good advice and I have been looking at those roles even before I quit my previous job. I thought of getting into Project Management and got CAPM certified, but that hasn't worked out for me yet. After a year of unemployment I decided to start afresh and began working with a career coach. She suggested that I take the Gallup test. Now this has opened a lot of possibilities and I'm considering my options and trying to figure out my next moves.
I encourage you to pursue this....during my MBA a pretty big chunk of my classmates had MechEng degrees and it aligned quite well to management consulting on a variety of subject areas.
One path could be to apply to a individual contributor role in pre-sales engineering for one of the Industrial Asset Management (IAM) or process automation companies...you'd be doing a combination of using your plant floor experience to be able to talk the language and understand customer needs, and would get the product training in industrial software, which woudl give you tech exposue....I'm talking Rockwell Automation, ABB, GE or GE Digital, Hitachi [various] or Hitachi Vantara.
Thanks. I do not have any floor experience as such but I can look into this and find some other skills and experience that can align with these. Thanks for the suggestion.
