I am trying to break into corporate strategy from consulting. How did you do this?

like

I recently moved from big4 advisory > in house corporate strategy without any true finance and it wasn’t too bad. I left for a large company that provided me upskilling resources but don’t do much complex modeling w/ the new role anyways (FP&A will build it out if need be).

Granted you’ll be moving into a startup / and it’ll vary by project so never a bad idea to do a couple of refreshers before you start! Best of luck
