Need your thoughts.

Does it make sense to shift from analytics consulting to strategy consulting? Have seen a lot people do the vice-versa.. thinking about the next step in my career... Any thoughts will help.

Following. I've been in "analytics" for 6+ years and am so used to delivering numbers on platforms that I've forgotten how to read what the numbers actually mean. Been thinking about the same switch.

I made the switch but I’m way junior so I might not be the best person to talk to

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
