I suppose I am talking about more of a strategist role

This is something me and some friends were discussing, perhaps me the most seriously. I graduated in May 2014 as an engineer and have been working for a consulting engineering firm

If you are interested in true blue management/strategy consulting, then Big 4 isn't the place. McKinsey, Bain, Deloitte Consulting (not advisory), BCG are what you want. The best way to get into one of those places is to go to a top 10 MBA program.

Engineering consulting is out of my wheelhouse, though.

I work for Uncle Peat's Management Consulting group in Houston. Did a few years in Audit first.

I know we hire engineers to do Cost Segregation stuff and some into our Oil & Gas practice, beyond that I do not know.

My concern for you at this point is 1 year of experience....what kind of consulting stuff are you doing now?

Although we did just acquire a strategy division, the majority of what our advisory/consulting is systems related, help you with systems architecture, IT project mgmt, implementation, etc.

If you want to do Risk Consulting (compliance work) then LSUCIA will get you hired at any of the big 4.

If thats what you want to do, you need to look for a different job. Sounds like you are doing a highly technical job, try to move into something more business oriented such as operations.

Where is your undergrad from?
