I think you need to be confident about yourself. I do believe if you have big 4 experience, you can join most industry (probably not marketing unless you can demonstrate that you are very interested in marketing). I know many people with technology background joined consulting - strategic consulting pay more attention to your thinking and logic, rather than what you did before. I can imagine that you have the following strength for consulting: strong financial/analytical background, communication skills (you need to face customers every day), problem solving skills (if your work need a lot of judgement) and so on. You can also give enough evidence that you are interested in consulting, judging from your friends and communcation with consultants as you might meet many consultants in your project or even work with them for your clients. I recommend you to read more about consulting before you PS so that you won't make basic mistake. |
