Hard career switch after MBA

I (28) worked for the military in my home country, I stayed on after mandatory service.

Id like to move to a corporate role ideally corp Strat. or corporate dev. But from what Ive read you'd need to have corporate experience and ideally consulting experience for those, which I obviously dont have.

So my question is which jobs are achievable post MBA for someone my age (Id be around 30 by then) coming from the military without corp experience, to not look like a complete fraud in the office/even make it in.
