Strategy Consulting Projects?

I received an offer at a T2 consulting company starting in August and was wondering what kind of projects are common. I am currently having a hard time finding more information online about which projects I want to pursue in order to hit the ground running.

I am really interested in new market entry, specifically international, although I saw some posts saying these are rare/hard to come by. Does anyone have any advice or experience on how to get on these projects or if there is something similar, preferably in the international space?

Or any general advice on different lines of project, such as more ops focused, market entry, DD, etc. Thanks in advance for your help.

DD work is tough but it's a good way to flex the "strategy consulting" skill (primarily research, market modeling, interviewing, survey work) without having to do the client management of strategy work. Ops is a grind and someone else can tell you more. Market entry is awesome. Favorite type of work I've done. Other M&A work is dull but easy like acquisition search and screen - can do from the comfort of your home if lucky.
