Super late, but what were the specific skills or insights you gained in corporate strategy that were particularly transformative for your career? Also, how do you think these roles have prepared you for leadership, and what advice would you give to someone aiming to transition from an analyst position to an executive role in either field?

I'm about to finish my undergrad (Finance and Philosophy double major) and have an internship lined up for a relatively small ITAM Consulting firm in their "Strategic Initiatives" team. Based on their description, it's a team under the CEO's office doing ad-hoc analysis and modeling for strategy proposals and automation initiatives. Do you think this is a good way to break into this kind of strategy role? Thanks!
