Political Risk Consulting

Hello Everyone, I am currently a rising junior majoring in international business and finance. Additionally, I’m picking up minors in political science and Arabic. My ideal career field would be in political risk consulting as I would get to combine both my interests of geopolitics and finance. I was wondering if anyone here had any insight on how you break into this field as it tends to be pretty niche. Thanks for the help!
