Moving into strategy can strengthen the profile if the new role gives you more consulting-relevant work, but the value comes from the experience rather than the internal label alone.

MBB recruiters will look at what problems you solved, the clients and stakeholders you worked with, and the impact you delivered.

If the transfer gives you market-entry work, commercial analysis, and senior client exposure, your future stories may become much more relevant than if your responsibilities remain primarily assurance-focused.

Evaluate the actual strategy team and projects before transferring. If the work materially changes your analytical and client-facing experience, it can be a useful step toward MBB. If useful, this guide on MBB vs. Big 4 gives more detail.
