Career Advice for Current Tech Consultant

Hey guys,

Have been working as a Workday consultant for the past year (super niche, basically just knowing how to configure this enterprise software for clients), but am interested in making a lateral move into either a finance/more traditional management consulting role.

The sense that I get is that 2 of years of IBD/Management Consulting with a big-name firm opens up a lot of really good career options down the road (good in the sense of pay/prestige/interesting work), and the concern with my current job is that it will really limit my career options moving forward. Here's my background:

-Graduated with a 3.2 in useless (Philosophy/Psychology/English) major from top Ivy, spent most of my time focusing on my sport, no real extracurriculars

If you were in my shoes, how would you approach finding your next job? I'm still not completely sure what I want to do long-term.
