I have been working in front end consulting for around 2 years now (first job) and am struggling to understand my options in terms of career paths and in the long term. A) Would love to know more about some career trajectories post consulting + some people who have inspired you whom I can check out on linkedin (in case grapevine allows for it). B) How feasible is a pivot to industry post consulting?
It's not that difficult tbh. Depends on the area of expertise. I switched from consulting to a business strategy role. Also had options for product, growth and internal consulting roles. Transformation roles and new age tech are areas you can consider as well if you've worked in them before
The best thing to do is join an internal consulting role in your preferred industry and company and then pivot internally to whatever takes your fancy
I have switched my career from tech consulting to product. I had previously worked in product based company helped me to switch. However if you are purely into technology aspiration, I would say to move into some product based companies. As you grow in consulting it would be more of soft skills and delivering client requirements than building technology oriented solutions hands on. Choose based on your aspirations and don’t worry you still have lot of time to pivot and choose your career.
