Looking to Transition from Pre-Sales Analyst to Consulting/Advisory – Need Guidance!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been with one of the biggest IT service provider for the past 2 years after graduating with a BE degree. I currently work as an Analyst in a pre-sales team, focusing on market research, company profiling, P&L analysis, KPI benchmarking, and supporting proposal/offering preparation. I’ve gained exposure to a variety of tasks, including handling RFIs, RFPs, pricing, and commercial strategy.

I also hold two AWS certifications and am looking to pivot towards a consulting and advisory career in the long term. However, I’m unsure about the best approach to make this switch.

Specifically, I need advice on:

• Which profiles I should target • Which companies would be ideal to pursue • Which additional skills or certifications would be beneficial • Whether I should gain more experience before making the switch

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and provide guidance!
