Is it common to see people coming out from corporate strategy going into consulting? I am now interviewing with corporates' internal consulting department as a backup choice if I don't get into MBB.
Also, for experienced hire (I have 4 years of experience now), is it important to have specific industry expertise? My background is in finance, but now I am interviewing with a car manufacturing company (strategy role). How would the consulting firms read my background after 2 years? Would they expect me to be an "expert in the auto industry"? Or they would be open to taking me as a generalist role, given that I have experience in finance & auto industry?
Thanks!!!!!
