Am I crazy for wanting to leave AWS to go back to Accenture or Deloitte? Long term, I’m not looking to become a partner nor do I want to sell work but I feel like I learned more in consulting. I’ve got about 7yoe.

Thought I was the only one who felt this way…

Lol. If you do PMO type of work, you should go to consulting. I can’t imagine any scenario where you will learn tech more in consulting.

Ah. I can see that can get boring

Though if you don’t have intentions of chasing partnership, consulting might not be a good choice. Like it or not , you will be pushed towards sales. My suggestion would be to try other tech firms.

I hear you. I left consulting for federal government and I was dying a slow death of boredom with nothing to do. I came back to KPMG cause I missed the fast paced environment. I will never become a partner because I’m just not partner material and that’s okay. I enjoy the different projects and faster pace environment. Until I figure out what I want to do this job fills up the time.

were you already on the govt side in consulting? if so idk how you'd think working directly for govt would be fun 💀

You're not crazy, I had similar feelings while at AWS. Only thing that stopped me was the huge pay cut I would've had to take going back to consulting

A serious question: all of my close friend's left india to US, EU for higher studies and are working there. I'm the only one left in my friend circle and everytime we have a video call, I really feel bad about myself as I'm still in India and they're in foreign with good living standards, earning more.

Im now 4 yoe, do you think doing MS worth it now, so that I can work in US/EU? What are other ways to move?
Note: I want to move to US/EU because of good standard of living.

Less than a year into my role as an analyst in IT audit. Took the role with the hopes of transferring to a finance-focused group and after passing CFA L1 I mentioned this to my coach last week (also hold an MS in Finance, FWIW).

If I would eventually like to find myself in IB, is my best bet to try transferring into the valuations group and also, how should I frame my outreach?!
