I do tech implementation consulting currently and while it’s decent, I’m looking at other avenues to increase my earning potential and for better career advancement. Any thoughts on IT strategy consulting? I think it’s a good pivot from where I’m at. What firms are good to join for IT strategy, what do the exit opps look like and comp potential? Probably a tough question to answer but I am still learning and would be grateful for any advice that can point me in the right direction! :)

5 YOE(relevant), 28, studied Econ, plan to do an MBA and I’m looking to break 200k in the next 3-5 years with the potential for more. Currently making 120k

Just apply straight for strategy consulting roles at. Mbb/t2. They pay well over 200k after two years.

I’ve considered but I wanted tech strategy to leverage my previous experience. I don’t think MBB/T2 would care about my current 5 YOE

Pivot at your firm, easy switch. Else jump elsewhere with a big raise in pay. Most big4’s do tech strategy. Let me know if you find a good one, I’m looking to join myself

Sweet. Is it ok if I DM you? Just wanted to chat since seems like we have similar goals

Accenture for tech consulting. 5 YOE would likely put you at experienced consultant and get you more than 120 with potential to easily break 200 in a couple years if you’re competent

SM1 awesome! Accenture has a lot of interesting roles actually. Not sure if I should apply directly at the manager level or come in as a consultant (for a smoother transition) and work up to manager. Might to take a while to make it manager if I come in as a consultant idk

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
