Easy way is to join an Big 4 and work on a transfer to their strategy practice. You don’t really need MS if you choose this path.

Network with leaders in your target groups and explain them why you are a good fit, your goals and vision.

You likely have a lot of transferable skills if you worked with large ERP supply chain modules, WMS, TMS, etc.

I would watch out to switch from a heavy tech job to a still heavy tech oriented job/work as that seems to be a large revenue stream for many SC “ Strategy” groups.

Unsure about what to do.. worked as an analyst out of school for $60K 2017-2019. Left after 1yr due to a toxic work environment & to care for my grandpa who had cancer in 2019. Was out of work for 2 years & now have an offer in accounting for the government at $40K. Should I take it because any job is better than nothing or should I keep interviewing & wait for something more aligned with my goals & salary expectations. Don’t want to make the wrong choice again.
