Functional/Technical vs Project Management Consultant?

I live in the states, I graduated about a year ago - I did Econ and Psychology. I work for a major consulting 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 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,

I think this is the same question from a couple of days ago, so my answer would also be the same:

If you want to move to the UAE and work in strategy consulting, the project and change management focus would be better suited now.

Cheers,

Florian

I wish you'd tell me How and Why is PM better for strategy compared to functional and technical pathways and not just pick an answer

Because one is very narrow and technical and the other is much more aligned with the expertise and tasks of a strategy consultant. :-))
