6 months into my consulting Journey as a BA. Learnt some interesting things, but from time to time I feel like I have no business being here and at the same time that I really want to climb the ranks asap (partner by like 32 kinda vibes). Does anyone else ever feel like that?

Everyday.. what I do definitely doesn’t align with my personal interest but I am currently on track to make manager by year 3. I just continue performing well and counting down the days between paychecks to get me through. Before you know it you are in your 30s and a partner. It’s hard to walk away from it when the path is so clear just because its not your #1 interest… at least for me. The goal is to put my head down now to stack up and retire by latest 45 with lost of passive investments.
