Do you mind sharing how did you manage to switch from audit to strategy consulting? I feel like that's really rare

Applying a lot, preparing business cases, good selection processes I guess. Undergraduate from tier 1 university + master in AI applied to finance was a plus.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
