I’ve been working at one or the other big tech since the last 8 years across business roles. While still enjoying this - i am keen to join one of the MBB in the next 12-18 months. Any advice is appreciated as last time i tried to enter this space was when i finished University and never got through.

Are you post b-school? B-school is one way
Digital Strategy roles is also another

Also apply to Tier 2/ACN Strat and Big 4 to practice casing

Not at all, just sometimes easier to get a first round with b-school

You”ll learn on the job

Network with alumni and frame your resume with digital strategy experience with your customers at AWS

I'm in a very similar situation, mostly client facing tech roles. I networked my way into several informal conversations with senior MBB people and they are very happy to talk to me. First round interviews planned. DM if you want to know more.
