Got messaged by a C3 . ai recruiter. Read that wlb is bad and that the interview process is absurdly long, but the Glassdoor reviews are 4.2 and can't find actual hours worked posted by anyone. How's the culture really? I'd be aiming for DS consulting, something more functional but with DS/ML concepts as my differentiator.

For junior roles - yes. I'd look at (or ask about) personal projects. Kaggle, Tableau Public, GitHub, open source contributions etc. Even go into their master's or PhD projects, where relevant.
However I would not hire someone for more senior roles without experience, if that makes sense.
Maybe you also need a cover letter then, explaining that you're transitioning to another career track.
Also worth looking at people with similar background on LinkedIn that made the switch. What keywords do they have on their description? What courses have they taken? What skills to they highlight?
I generally ask two questions specifically on any projects listed on your resume, technical enough to know if you built slides and cheer-led or whether you did the work.
As a candidate, one trick when you dont know am industry is to translate to what you do know. Ask questions to clarify your understanding - try to find equivalence to what you know and parrot back your understanding along with additional facts about the equivalency - asking if there is an additional analog.
As a hiring manager, I'm looking for base technical aptitude, the ability to understand a domain or topic, and how quickly this person is going to fill in an organizational gap. You don't have to know everything, but you have to know something and be able to translate it to what we're doing. Think: you may know python development and dashboarding and have experience on the cloud and I'm assessing you for either an industry specific application or a generalist for ETL with pyspark... and an answer of "I'd look up that obscure fact on python.org" oddly is satisfying
When it comes to things like case studies on a more management consulting end - it's rare that you are going to do something that hasn't been done - so read up and expose yourself to a variety of them, and frameworks to solve them.
