Switch from Energy to Consulting via EMBA

Hi

I have 16 years of experience in Oil & Gas industry. i have experience in Business Development, Product Management (non-IT), people management and operations. Planning to do EMBA at McCombs in an effort to switch industries. Thinking that consulting for 1-2 years will give me a good pivot and make CV attractive for tech companies (Salesforce, AWS, Tesla, energy transition advisories etc). I am currently on $200K total comp. If I don't aim for MBB and look for big 4 or small consulting firms (post MBA) what will be the starting comp. Is there a better segway for a career switch

TIA
