I’m in my 2nd year in audit. I want to pivot into management consulting within a big 4 or MBB. Has anyone seen someone make this lateral movement? I’m not sure how feasible that is and what steps to take. I’m also down to discuss further with whoever is comfortable in connecting.

Try to switch to Advisory would be a more feasible path. Top MBA would be a good jump board after that but still hard. OP might’ve underestimated how hard it is to get into consulting especially MBB unless you have God-given talent in networking or personal relationships.

I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
