If you start at BI in industry I think it’s pretty dead end. You want the consulting background imo so that you better understand how to communicate information upwards to management. The goal should be to graduate out of getting your hands dirty eventually
I started in BI 1 year ago. Before that I worked in sales leadership team for 5 years and have experience of communicating data to upper management for a F500 company. There could be a lot of career paths combining my experience in business and analytics. What would you recommend as next step/role?
IF you have the choice, go consulting first, in my opinion. You will get the widest and most amount of experience in a compressed time frame and this will make you more versatile.
However, depending on how far you move up in consulting, you will want to start narrowing your focus on 1 or 2 industries because analytics in each industry and the use cases applicable can be very different. E.g. Energy company vs. Banking vs. Retail etc.
Usually later on, a move to industry can help accelerate your industry knowledge and know how of internal operations etc., which you may not always have the opportunity to do especially in consulting due to its time based project nature unless you happen to be at a single client program for a long time.
Then after a stint in industry you have more options opening up like boomeranging back into consulting or even going to a competitor in the same industry.
All paths are different.
