Hi all, I'm new here and looking to pivot my career path.
No tech experience, 6+ years in a management position.
3 years in hospitality managing 30+ employees at a time.
3 years as a project manager at a plumbing business in NYC, this included service sales experience which I would do majority of the closing myself.
My question: Do I have any leverage to land anything above a simple entry level position? Suggestions/all advice appreciated in advance.

It’s a very broad question. I would ask myself What are your aspirations. If you want to get by into to tech, construction? Then review the details around functions or skill set you would need to develop. Your leadership skills are always a plus! But dive deeper into what you have and what you need to develop. 😀

Appreciate the response!

How do I get into Consulting? I don’t know anything about solving case studies or have never actually competed in case competitions. Are my doors closed? Any steps to segue my career towards that? I’m currently in Compliance within Banking and Consulting just seems far more exciting to work in, even though I know it’s super tiring and hectic, I’m only 23 and I think I’d have the skin for it, i’d say I can take all sorts of feedback well. I just love that you can wear many hats in Consulting.
