How would bizdev and growth strategy work experience at a FinTech startup effect my chances of moving into consulting? I want to make the switch and was wondering if it would work for me, against me or neutral (compared to other candidates with 2 year’s experience). To go a step further, should I push to join already as a consultant or would I not be able to jump the analyst stage with 2 years startup experience?
Thanks!
