How to pivot to AP or A&M from tech consulting? Obviously thinking MBA - will PT suffice? Will even full-time suffice? Or doomed bc I would need industry experience already?

What do you want to do at A&M? Answer would depend on which division you want to join

Happy to chat via DM, but I'll preface by sayi g this: we take folks from a lot of different walks of life in the performance improvement divisions (In the US, they are CPI and PEPI). I infer that you have a technology consulting background. In that case, pre-MBA, you would likely join leveraging your IT credentials and join as someone initially aligned to technology services. Depending on the level you join at, you may be able to eventually gain experience in and transfer to things that you would prefer to focus on (e.g. cash flow modelling). It would be a hard sell for someone to go from tech consulting straight to NACR though
