I graduated about a year ago - I did Econ and Psychology. I work for a major tech firm and I have to declare my speciality real soon before my progression to be a senior consultant. I have the choice between 1) the technical path where I’ll dive deeper into the technologies (SAP, Oracle) and help to implement them through the phases (configuration, testing, etc…) or 2) be a part of the Project and Change Management practice where I will still be involved in those transformational projects but more on the leadership side where I will be doing mostly project management related work.
My goal: I would like to eventually move back to the UAE and preferably do strategy consulting and not necessarily with a tech firm. Which of these 2 career paths would you recommend or would be better considering my goal?

Hi there,
If your goal is to move towards strategy consulting, the latter (project and change management) sounds like the better choice! :-)
Cheers,
Florian
