I’m a software consultant at Oracle where I specialize in one software and help clients implement/optimize it. I’m trying to transition to a strategy/management advisory role because I feel pigeonholed to this one Oracle software. I have a final round case interview coming up and am preparing but have extreme imposter syndrome because I don’t feel like I have the traditional excel data analysis and PowerPoint skills they are looking for. Has anyone been in a similar position and have any advice?

I swapped from Workday implementation to HR strategy/transformation consulting. They love people who have systems implementation experience, so it shouldn't be too tough of a switch for you.

Excel skills they look for is really xlookup and pivot tables.
