Transitioning from RE to Consulting

I am currently working as an investment analyst for an open ended fund, but have been thinking of switching to consulting. I'll have 2yoe in a couple of months and would like to switch jobs asap. Reasons for switching are more international career prospects, possibility for MBA, more variance in work and workload.

How should I proceed?

I have a masters in Economics from a top European university, speak 2 languages fluently and 1 intermediately.
