I have worked in business strategy (eg growth strategy, profit improvement, cost optimization etc.) - I mean worked on business side.
I have received an offer from
RBC for a technology strategy role. How is technology strategy different from business strategy? I am getting a bit worried now because I didn’t have technology background. Please if you can advise. 🙏 Am I setting myself up for failure?

Make sure you clearly understand your role and what your passionate about. Tech strategy can be anything from integration and implementation to product. But if you like more high level strategy (5 year, go to market etc.) you might not enjoy it as much.

Yes, make sure to have an enterprise architect with you and you are golden

The latter. A1 means just make sure you have a real technologist on your team or projects to help ground your recommendations / work.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
