Lots of business analytics roles out there for lots of tech companies

Yes, I'm wondering if other fishes here with beginner background in analytics have gone from manager to analyst type roles. I've applied and I just get redirected to project/program manager roles.

I'm curious to know if those are the only type of exit options available from consulting. I have a strong tech background from a few years ago (SQL, Viz, some basic python) but have been doing the pm stuff and pretty sure I can't palette this longer.

The analytics roles in tech seem to ask for stronger tech background and consulting seems to be a turnoff.

Anyone here exit to analyst/tech roles not involving people/project management

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.

I can see in biglaw not bringing up knowing damn well if you get an offer itll likely be high, but this is a midsize
