Transitioning from Data Analytics at Dell to Finance/Consulting — Where to Start?
Hey WSO,
I’m currently a data analytics professional at Dell and I’m looking to transition into finance or consulting. I’ve been working with data — building reports, analyzing trends, translating numbers into business decisions — and I want to take that skillset into a more finance/strategy-driven environment.
I’m targeting roles in management consulting, FP&A, or anything at the intersection of data and finance. I’m open to internships or full-time depending on the opportunity.
A few things I’d love input on:
• How should I be positioning my analytics background when applying to consulting or finance roles?
• Are there certifications or skills I should be picking up right now to make myself more competitive?
• What types of firms should I be targeting as someone without a traditional finance background?
I’ve been working LinkedIn but response rates are low. Trying to find the right rooms and connect with people who’ve made a similar jump.
If you’ve transitioned from a tech/data background into finance or consulting I’d especially love to connect. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
