It’s a toss up as to which sucks more.

You don’t need to like it. You just need to make as much money as you can from it

You should move out of tech consulting. Software implementation is one of the biggest revenue generators in this industry. Even slides makers like McKinsey are getting into it. We live in a age where clients are looking to get a demo done as opposed to 100 page deck

But if you are in tech and don’t like implementation, you won’t go far

I love implementation work, wdym. You actually get to see something happen. There is a clear path.

Sounds like you don’t understand the work. It’s about advancing the business towards strategic goals by moving data between systems. Sounds like it’s not your cup of tea if you characterize it as moving Jira tickets around.

Yes, relying on your job for fulfillment is the most soul sucking thing out there. Work is work, what is your real purpose in life?

Soul sucking? Sure. But probably better positioned for job security in the AI revolution than strategy consulting

I find the more analytical software implementations interesting. Also, it (really) helps to work on a likable team.
