Why aren't consulting firms stepping up more to help us meet SDG targets?

I wouldn't call that an accurate statement. Most firms have one or more arms that are dedicated to helping businesses meet their SDG goals. At Accenture we have Responsible Business, Sustainability, Accenture Development Partnerships to name a few parts of the company that operate with different models to drive the SDG's.
Deloitte, Accenture, KPMG, BCG, and Mckinsey all do work with nonprofits and foundations. There are also many fortune 500companies that are interested in improving their responsible business agenda that hire consultancies provide strategic consulting on these issues.
If you do a Google search a whole bunch of stuff will come up.

10 YOE in strategy/ MGMT consulting. Got an AWS "company fit" fit but not a fit for the position I interviewed for. The recruiter said they are going to keep looking for openings that would be a better fit (non-tech). Has anyone received an offer in this situation, and if so how long did it take?

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

I have a experience of 1.5 years as site engineer. I would like to go into designing and learn softwares according to it. I would like someone to tell me what is the experience needed, softwares to be learnt and where shall i learn them to be placed in US or UK companies?

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.
