Industry job search advice: I'm a manager in strategy consulting. Should I position myself broadly as a strategist or focus on my specific area of expertise?

Expertise if in finance

Depends on the opportunity. If it's a strategy role you're looking for, be a strategist. If it's something that involves some strategy in your area of expertise, focus on that. I'd be flexible based on the role, not limit yourself to one "brand"
