SOC analyst to consulting

For those with previous SOC analyst experience and are now in some consulting capacity, how critical and transferable would you say the technical skills gained from analysis are when moving to a consulting role? What area are you consulting in now?

I started off in SOC and then moved to consulting. Consulting is different bc essentially you are an "expert" in your domain and your experience is invaluable bc most have not worked in a SOC triaging alerts, closing tickets, and following processes. Your analytical mindset will be great and your opinion will actually matter instead of the textbook fluff. The only thing is you will need to activate your business "cap." So taking what you know and applying it to the larger org. The impact, cost, time, and effort will be the more advanced questions as well as explaining technical issues to a non technical audience.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
