Hi everyone,
I'm currently an MBA student at Kellogg with a background in management consulting (5 years at a Big 4 firm). I'm considering a pivot to corporate strategy, ideally in the tech or healthcare sectors.
A few questions for those who have made a similar transition:
1. How difficult is the shift from consulting to an in-house strategy role, especially without prior industry-specific experience?
2. What are the key skills or experiences I should highlight to recruiters or hiring managers?
3. Would it be more beneficial to focus on M&A/Corporate Development, or would general strategy roles provide broader learning opportunities?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
