I am part of core product team in fintech. Looking to move into management consulting. How to?
I know a VC who is moving to PM / also a MC who is doing the same. Sab pm kyun bharge hai
Shift to consulting allied domains is quite normal. I've seen some stakeholders in my current org move from consult firms or strategy teams in orgs. VC folks and startup founders generally end up in investor relations or corp dev in product firms.
You can join on an expert track - digital transformation etc. You'd work as an in-house expert on this topic and work with clients who need deep working knowledge. You can later transition to a more generalist role once you have mastered the consulting tool kit and general way of working.
MBB and most tier 1b firms rely heavily on hiring straight from MBA schools. Hence there is little institutional support once you join laterally at a higher level - say a sr consultant/ manager etc. This transition becomes slightly more nuanced if you don't have consulting background.
Also, they might offer you a role below your current grade. So if you have 4yrs of post MBA experience, maybe they give a role that is 2yr post MBA for consult MBA hires. But if the pay is not your reason, and you like the work, it's better to start at a place where the expectations are low so that you have wiggle room to fail and improve
Thanks for the direction

That's a first
P.S. I made this jump and here for 18 months. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Stay in industry. And if you actually jump, def recommend to join Middle East markets. You at least have a silver lining of boatloads of money. The stress, dumb things we sometimes do is not worth it
