Engineering undergrad from top 10 US engineering school (#6 for my major). Working currently in semiconductor manufacturing with heavy emphasis on project management, with 3+ years of experience on matriculation.
Plan to pivot into consulting post-MBA to provide a broader impact to organizations, and to explore industries outside of semiconductors.
I think you have it in the bag. The key is to zero in on the consulting firm / team you want to be a part of. Quite a few will want strong client-facing skills (presenting, convincing, etc) to ensure you can drive the billing hours and having those skills shine. Some hire for SME roles but those tend to be much more experienced.
FYI - IB can be another focus - lots of them are looking for semi conductor instruments.
