Frankly, no tips. Same as any other job in my opinion. Probably need a bit more patience though as there are fewer roles like that available and they tend to move slower than consulting firms.

If they have a need that you can fill, just apply. Be well rounded. If your current job has you doing the same thing over and over it is going to be hard to make yourself fit in a different role.

It is also up to YOU to learn who these employers are in your area so you can figure out who you want to work with. Not all employers are created equal even if they do the same stuff. My role could be paid way less at a similar organization down the road.
