Figure out if there is a Bridge Program at your organization or if you can internally shift. At Infy we have a bridge program where you prepare, give a test, do an internship or something during it (within Infosys) and then full time work on another project

1. Get better at excel
2. Learn some frameworks
3. Youtube what consultants do
4. Get into a management position or show your current position as management
5. Apply for some jobs and get confident
6. Do a cheap MBA if you can in parallel

The first 5 would take somewhere around 2 to 3 months to get a good hang of it and if you are persistent, you will get a good entry
