I’ve been in internal audit for the past three years and am looking to transition into management consulting, ideally at one of the Big 4. For someone with my experience, what’s the best way to showcase transferable skills, and what should I focus on to stand out in the application process?

Don't mean to sound discouraging but it'll be VERY difficult - I tried for a couple of years during my staff / senior years even worked on consulting engagements after a lot of convincing but couldn't switch formally. Possible if a Sr. Manager from consulting vouches for you.
