Seems like every single one I’ve found requires previous experience building and launching software products... so unless you’ve done that in your role or something very similar, maybe build and launch something on the side

What companies have you looked into specifically? I've just been casually browsing various exit opps and juat started looking into this

Thanks for the detailed response, it's really helpful. At face value it seemed like something that *could* apply to our line of work, but i definitely see what you mean

If this is the case then I may have look for another internship that I can do before the fellowship.

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented.
