For strategy roles and consulting roles, they have more stringent hiring process and the numbers hired on a yearly basis for consulting or strategy are consulting very little, way lesser than those technology roles that are being mass hired monthly. So if you aren’t offered a strategy or consulting role when you join Accenture, it means you aren’t qualified for it, let alone say doing an internal transfer from a totally different function. Not putting you down, but this is the facts, that’s to be fair to those who have gone through a tougher hiring process of interviews etc as compared to the mass hire for those business and integration/delivery roles. Even strategy or consulting project specific roles are kept for those consulting analyst-managers or strategy analyst-managers.

So short answer to your question is no.
Just to correct you, the interview for consulting isn’t much harder than tech. It’s pretty much behavioural questions as well. Let’s not lump strategy and consulting together because you do know that they are different.

To the OP, yes it’s entirely possible to switch from Tech to Consulting. You just need to find roles that are more consulting focused and more importantly, you need someone that is willing to give you a chance.

For Strategy wise, it’s WAYYYY harder because there is a cap to the headcount in each project. You are better off finding a strategy role outside of the company imo.
