So recently I just made an internal transfer to a role which Im hoping to transition into in the future. However, my current company isn’t that great in that particular sector of consulting and is actually trying to grow its presence. It’s a laggard in the local scene. 
 

I am only about a month plus into the role and just doing BD work at the moment while they are sourcing for clients. I was intending to move to a competitor which is better in the field but they prefer to hire experienced candidate. I do not have much experience to offer in relation to the role as I just moved but overall have more than 3 years experience in other area of consulting which is transferable. it’s the technical aspect which I feel I’m lacking. 

Moreover the competitor requires a professional reference from a supervisor and a peer. Since my current company is the first employer i worked after graduating, it will be awkward to request from them. 
 

Any advice anyone can offer? Am in the Big 4 consulting btw.
