Had a few questions about Quantum Black / BCG Gamma.
1. Do QB Data Scientists, also have schedules of waking up at 4, reaching the client at 9 and working until 11 PM? How do you even write code when you're sleep deprived ?
2. Do you use MacBooks or do you also use Windows like normal consultants
3. Can people with degrees in Business Analytics actually get into QuantumBlack ?
4. How is the work of a data scientist in tech different? (apart from new projects each 3 months)

You can't really do non-entry-level management without management experience in the space (or an awesome network). Entry level is always an uphill battle, just have to keep trying.
Landing a functional IC role shouldn't be a problem, but that you're only getting calls for technical roles tells me you have way too much tech and not enough business outcomes on the resume. YMMV, but what I'd try... Only name-drop a few the major tools once, completely scrap everything else. Replace every technical "how" with a super generalized thing focused on the result. For example, even the word "dashboard" is a how, as of course are languages and frameworks. Don't mention that you/team built dashboards that showed ABC, instead say you discovered XYZ with help of quantitative analysis. You do need a few buzzwords, but one piece of evidence for each ought to be plenty.
Possible job titles are business analyst, program manager, and misc super inflated ones.
Oh, and always ask recruiters who reach out for the wrong positions if they know of a team recruiting for the right ones. Maybe they can pass along your profile or even give you a contact.
Analytics manager. May have to pull some data here and there if you don’t have analysts, but focus is on driving business value and communicating to stakeholders
Product manager of tech product
Send me your resumes.
Following. I’m curious about this as well. Exactly in the same boat.
@OP. I think analytics consultant kind of roles do offer what you’re referring to. I have the same issue where even though I know have these skills but not keen of doing the coding related activities but because my masters is in data science, companies approach me for Data scientist / data engineer roles.
Me too. We are always looking for product managers who can interface between client business objectives and technical resources who are delivering.

So you're looking for a senior manager level role like "head of analytics" or Chief Data Officer roles. You're likely in need off an executive recruiter rather than a standard technology recruiter.
Yes, that is worth exploring, but I have had no traction there yet. I'm at 10 YOE, so I am often eliminated by 12-15 year YOE requirements of senior positions.
Thank you for the input. To clarify: when I say "non tech" I mean non-technical, not non-faang or non-techfirm. I also want to exit consulting. Related to consulting, analytics manager roles in consulting seem to pay less than strategy manager roles, so that's another consideration.
