Anyone restart as a Senior Consultant and level down to gain real skills? I’m essentially just got promoted to Consulting Manager (PMO Consultant) but I hate cat-herding and feel like I always really liked the technical side of things. People keep saying I’m good at PMO, but it’s a common skillset.

Honestly this is why i dont want to get promoted to Manager. I hate cat herding and sales is something I'm not interested in + added responsibility. I have adhd and just prefer to do my technical work plus the novelty of new projects keeps me engaged. I do pretty well on projects but don't want to lose the technical delivery piece of it
