What are you 1-2 year non-technical consultants exiting to? I have done mostly org design, change strategy and PMO. I want to exit somewhere I can begin to build a specific brand / skill set, a bump up to the ~150k+ would be nice as well.
Most exits will probably be traditional project manager roles I would imagine?

Project manager in pharma comes to mind. Your experience is a bit too low for program manager IMO

I do not disagree, this is my motivation for trying to exit where I can build my niche for a company etc.

Change management roles my be a good fit at this point while you build experience at the PMO level
