Is a Lateral Hire for a Generalist/ Strategy/ Management Consultant role possible in MBB based on my profile?

Hello PrepLounge Community

Background : I graduated in BBA with a 3.08 GPA in 2022 from a B-school, was the President of the Commerce department during College, and  been a part of Toastmasters International . I was a  2022 graduate hire in an MNC as an Operations Analyst , got promoted within 1.5 years,  my role is client aligned and involves global stakeholder management , mentored the grad hires of consequent years, trained colleagues for process transfer projects, I have shown great performance in the last 2 years, and have a great standing with the global teams I work with. ('m from India)

Objective :  My goal is to land either a Generalist/Strategy/ Management Consulting role in MBB or tier 2 Strategy Consulting firms like Kearney etc. and I want to know my chances of getting into these firms and how best to build my profile so that I stand a chance for these specific roles and firms.

Future - I plan on doing my MBA after another 2 years of work experience, and really hope that my next 2 years of work experience would be in consulting

Potential Solutions & Reviews I seek : 

  1. With the info provided what are my chances of getting into MBB or tier 2 Strategy Consulting firms  on a scale of 1 to 10?
  2. Based on the recent Consulting hiring trends for a lateral hire should I aim within India or do I have a higher chance in any other location?
  3. How can I maximize my resume's potential  (Courses, upskilling programs etc. ) and economical ways for case interview preparation (guidance and feedback)  ? (Most of the programs out there are very expensive)
  4. Well aware that Networking  is the heart of this industry so are there any specific ways I need to network?

 Your Advice and Guidance is highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
