I recently applied for a strategic advisory consultant role at crowdstrike.

Does anyone know what my chances would be like with a management consultant background (non technical) and working with the government on policy and strategic direction?

Very interested in the role of strategic consultant too but worried my lack of tech background will put me at the very end of the list.
