@ Techies - what’s the biggest technical skill you see missing in management consultants? What should I learn on my own time to be relevant in SV? All I know is some basic SQL & a fair amount of IT PM experience (but didn’t do any of the coding).
@ consultants with successful tech exits - anything you learned or wish you learned to facilitate that job search & subsequent transition?

Define "relevant in SV," since it can be pretty role dependent. What are you targeting?

Product management.

Depends on how many years out you are

Recruiter reached out a few weeks ago about an ER role. I don’t have the finance background but want to pivot. I had a first round interview that I thought I bombed but I got a second.
