I have the same background and am doing tech management consulting...no reason why your SO couldn’t also. The uphill battle will be proving they have the consulting skill set (past 2 years will prove the technical portion), something which took me a few years to do as I gradually transitioned from more technical to less technical, but that was by my choice.

Cybersecurity has a negative unemployment rate - most companies I’ve interacted with are willing to train people as long as they have a technical background! Happy to refer SO if they’re interested.

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?

Am I thinking about this completely wrong?
