What are some good reasons to switch from Strategy / Corporate Finance Consulting to something related to Procurement/Project Management? I'm trying to switch departments because I've worked with their team before and I find that it's something that more suited towards me rather than Strategy. A lot of people say Project Management is less sexy but I don't really mind as I am at a profit satisficing salary

Yikes… I wouldn’t

SA definitely makes a good point. The consulting work can be interesting - vendor strategy, ERP design, and automation, but most back office functions like purchasing, AR, AP, etc in industry are definitely terribly boring.

Consider doing finance transformation consulting. All of the firms have different names for it, but its work encompassing all back office corporate services and can range from strategic operating model design to system implementations.

But, going from pure strategy you might take a pay cut depending on the level you're joining at.
