Hi there! I've been seeing all the help provided on other posts so I figured I'd ask for some advice here.
After working as the director of operations for an e-commerce startup for the past two and a half years, I wanted to make a career pivot into a program management or a strategy/operations role at a tech company. I've been combing through some job postings and I see many positions in both program management and strategy/operations at companies like Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Coinbase, Twilio, etc. that look like I'd be a good fit in. Could anyone offer any tips or advice for what I should be doing to be a competitive applicant for these positions or just application advice in general.
For more background, I have a BS in Biochemistry and an MS in Bioinformatics. Before my current role, I was a project manager at a boutique design and manufacturing firm. Previous to that I did quite a bot of freelance management consulting, and prior to that, I was a program manager at a financial services firm that developed and oversaw its government contracting program.

I just see a lot of management consulting firm experience desired so I just needed the confidence that my skillset was definitely transferable and comparable to what they might be looking for!
But thanks for the help @AbMv57!
