Strategy roles outside of Consulting

I would love the work of a strategy consultant but I'm not willing to travel extensively at this point in my life. Are there any options out there? I've found some corporate strategy jobs but most are looking for people w/ 2-3 years consulting experience. Is there another option I haven't considered? Thanks!

Thanks for the responses. I will check out the corp strategy leads. Does anyone know if there is another set of corporations that hire new MBA's? Also, with the MBB or Boutique route, does the same thing apply to San Fran as with NYC in terms of less travel outside of the metro area?

Thanks!

This really depends on the firm. Places like Deloitte will have no problem shipping you out to Atlanta from SF even though they have an Atlanta office. Other places like Bain will try their best to keep you local. It really depends on the firm.
