Anyone else in Security Consulting feel you have no tangible industry skills?

I want to pivot out of consulting so I can do something useful. But I realized I can only build stupid PowerPoints, facilitate security ownership meetings, and compliance assessments.

Been building a home lab, but at this point, 8 years of cyber experience is still basically still an entry level exit to industry for me.
