Consulting Lateral

Hello, so the title is pretty straightforward. Let me shed some background, graduated 2024 from a big 10 “public ivy.” Junior summer had an IB internship at a no name bank. Graduated with a 3.7 GPA, cs minor, and leading and founding my own organization on campus. Currently working as a “Swiss army knife” and a fortune 50 company — think finance, tech, strategy analyst. Since my senior year I gained a huge interest in consulting, primarily because of the different projects and working with clients. Coming on here to see what are the odds of someone like me lateraling over to consulting. Dont care too much about prestige as long as the work persons to tech or pe consulting and the pay is on par. If I do have good odds, where do I start looking at and what are my best steps to take.
