If you want to switch to S&C, you won’t hold the tech titles and it’s not easy to switch. If you’re hired in as operations, or song or security you fall under their respective DTE/function. I’m assuming you’re under TAP given you’re in acn for 2.5 years? Its not end of 3 years you graduate from tap you choose either tech or S&C. You will go back to your DTE/function, again you can identify from your acn job title itself or easiest your contract (it states your job family). It’s easy to tell actually since TAP mostly consists of only business and integration analyst/senior analyst and consulting development analyst/snr analyst, the former is tech while the latter is S&C.

Your pros and cons are rather accurate, S&C is much more competitive than tech. It’s easier to find projects for tech as compared to strategy or consulting. Many times the consulting team in projects are really small, as little as 2 people or maximum 10.
At the end of the day, depends on your interest and abilities.
