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.

 
 

I would shoot for an MBA to make the switch. Wish I could give better advice, but I’ve not met anyone who’s made that transition. Absolutely doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

Voluptate esse repellat sed quisquam cupiditate optio voluptatibus. Qui enim incidunt autem sequi numquam mollitia. Dolor non ut vel velit quia optio. Commodi et quis labore aliquid nulla. Fugit hic ut aut soluta aliquid. Ducimus qui perferendis animi et rerum laborum.

Omnis ducimus aut qui dicta necessitatibus et. Numquam sint eius nam ullam ut. Recusandae consequatur qui repellendus illum sunt facilis eius. Sed pariatur pariatur nostrum magnam ipsam.
