Hi, I have completed my MBA from one of the leading B Schools of India and I have about three years of experience in Corporate Banking. I want to switch my career to management consulting.

It will help me if anybody can help with understanding how to go about the switch; are there any certifications that will make the switch easier? Any other relevant advices?

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
