What are the exit opportunities and career paths that exist for strategy analytics consultants? I.e. consultants that have some strategy and analytics expertise but aren’t as practiced as pure strategy consultants or as technical as data scientists

I've seen some teams in large non-tech companies doing strategy analytics, so yes. I believe the job titles were still data science. Main indicator is the team being made of former consultants

Also any industry Business Analyst titles would be a fantastic fit, but those don't have great (any?) career trajectory other than what you carve out yourself. The vision I have for business analyst late career is those folks who are fake but not at all fake directors/VPs with 0-3 reports but equal level of pull across whatever org they're in

Oh, and there are straight up data analyst roles

Data analytics in industry has its own management chain. But you'll need to learn either the more techy parts or the application domain (marketing, finance, etc) as you go. Otherwise you'll cap out as analytics director/VP. Analytics at C-suite isn't really a thing, it's either one of the business orgs or all the scaling stuff for analytics that quickly becomes infrastructure work (the tech a chief data officer is in the hook for)

As to business analytics, there really isn't one. It's a support IC role with no clear reporting chain of its own. Lots of teams have BA's, who are kinda masters of none and not the people you think of when you need someone to take over the team

Both have good lateral mobility if you pick up the right skills though. Can go to product, data science, whatever org you support, etc. You'll still have to do the leg work, but you're right there working side by side all these people already, so it's as smooth a shift as you can get

I'm at a target uni for Big 4 accounting. I applied for and received an offer for Summer 2023 Risk&FinancialAdvisory - Technology internship w Deloitte.
