Looking for a mentor, or connections within technology consulting (anywhere ranging from MBB, T2, B4, Boutique) for a hopeful career pivot.

Currently in specialized international tax, but have been largely involved in tax technology projects utilizing alteryx, VBA and PowerBI (all self taught).

Looking for advice/leads on how to break into tech consulting and appreciate any help!

Are you interested in more of the systems implementation side? Or the actual utilization of systems side of things?

Are they typically mutually exclusive? I’m interested in both, but the utilization is where I’m most interested.

In the current company I work for, it seems like in order to get promoted, you need to not only do what's within your job description well, but also do things that are past your job description so that they see your interest & understanding of other avenues, and THEN they'll promote you to a management role. Is that the standard way of getting promoted in all fields? Doing your job plus more until youre promoted to just do the 'more'?
