Hi. you have a fantastic profile. It’s very strong and competitive 👍

Feel the main concern the dead missions would have for you having clear reasons for your switch to consulting.

Over the last five or 10 years, a very common exist strategy for consulting has been tech. Consulting paid more to start but tech had more growth opportunities and for more seasoned than senior folks, it paid more and offered less busy travel schedule. so having somebody go from tech to consulting isn’t very traditional and as the result will have the admissions wonder if you’ve done your research and almost sort of being parental and making sure that you’re making the right decision so I would say your main checkbox to tick would be to resolve that question. This is not particularly hard by the way. You just need a simple and straightforward explanation such as I hate tech and I want to grow in different ways, and here’s why I think I’ll be successful.

as usual with consulting, your client facing skills are extremely important so you want to touch on your presentation skills, client facing skills, and things like that in your application. Obviously it would be indirect in someway but that’s another secondary tick mark you would want to hit.

Hey @bb, thank you so much for the response. I'm going to say that I want to go into consulting to help companies implement AI into their business strategies. I current work on an AI product at a major tech company, and I constantly see this as a hole in the market and an opportunity to make a big impact.

My job has pretty large presentation components to it, but I will make sure I reference it in my application.

Thanks for the profile review!

That's a great and a strong response! 👍
