Consulting alternatives?
I would like to get some advice from the group to see if my experience would allow me to transfer to management consulting. If not, then what type of strategy role should I aim for? I'm in financial service now and want out.
My Background:
I have been working at a bank as an analyst (non-IBD) for 2 years now. My role focuses on business strategy, loan pricing, loan portfolio analysis, business expansion and risk analysis. After 2 years, I could not say I had acquired any tangible skills. My role is very board and has many parties to support. As a result, I did not really learn much of accounting (have finance to help), statistics (has stats team), or programming (have IT support). I have built several "models", at least we call them "models" internally, and had put together a lot of decks for business proposals. But I just don't know if I have learned anything that is transferable.
I know it is time to switch job when I find that I am not learning much and am really miserable going to work on things I have no interest in.
I have looked around in LinkedIn on different fortune 500 jobs but there doesn't seem many that I am qualified for (2 yrs of non-IBD finance). The ones I saw either want accounting (preferably CPA with big 4 experience) or someone that had done a IB or consulting gig.
Question:
Am I a good fit for management consulting? I know I'm no MBB material, but what about boutique?
Within a big (fortune 500) company, what positions would a person with my qualifications fit in?
I would also like to get into a top MBA in 2 years, if that changes anything.
Thanks in advance!
