I worked in IT for 7 years, as an in-house network administrator, which included managing and implementing projects and advising on operational IT issues. I wasn't happy in my job, mainly because of the tedious nature of my work, and a whole lot of internal politics that made my working environment quite intolerable. I got a lucky break and was asked to run a small company in a totally different sector. I thought it would be a good change to get out of IT, but eight months down the line, I'm really unhappy, and I want to go back to IT. The thing is that I don't want to go back to the day-to-day operational type of IT work. I'd like to get involved in IT strategy consulting. My new job has allowed me to work in a general manager role, allowing me to see the big picture in business and think strategically. Do you think I'd be able to move into a IT strategy consulting role? And what consultancies would be the best to approach for this type of role? Thank you for your help.

I know that Atos are looking for IT strategists for their Enabling Technology practice, but we're looking for people with specific experience in IT strat development. Would probably look at CapGem too given their strength on the IT side.

Try McKinsey BTO. I´ve been working there for the last 3 years and is a great IT place, if you can stand the pressure and the horrible hours...good luck

I have three months exprience in IT Field I think this is good job........ Good Luck
