After 9yrs in consulting, I see no value nor purpose in what I do anymore. Everyday looks the same, just sucked up in meetings and deliverables and can’t stand anymore this stupid consulting jargon and projects that look all the same. Learning curve flattened (M3 level) and therefore worrying now to be wasting my time and not be able to exit at decent conditions (as industry would be demanding for my yoe). Already started some online learning on topics that interest me most. Any advice?

Yes! Start networking in industry, leverage Accenture’s brand and your role within the firm as a way to transmit confidence and credibility.

You can find good exits with 9 yoe, or at least I am seeing interesting opportunities. You may need to improve your resume, networking and interview skills though.

Recruiters do contact me; point is that such opportunities are less attractive from future evolution point of view.
First of all, salary growth is much much lower. Secondly, I get offered positions as DIGITAL PLATFORM mgr or smth like that which I see as a slowdown in overall career growth.

Take into account that where I’m based salaries outside consulting are much lower and career path is much slower :(. That’s why I feel struck sometimes

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
