Discuss with the next level up (manager?). Don't phrase it as a blame game but explain that you've got a lot on your plate and are struggling. Don't completely obscure the root cause but don't open with it out the gate

Help. Going through a bit of a mid-career crisis. I’ve been in planning for nearly 20 years and now...when I look at my boss, the CSO, that’s not what i aspire to. Maybe it’s burnout, maybe it’s climbing the ladder and seeing more of the corporate bs, idk. I need help seeing where to go from here. Research? Client side? Startup? I’m feeling lost 😩.

I want to learn Salesforce Tableau CRM (formerly known as Einstein Analytics) and switch to a different organisation. In my current company stuck in a project where there's no learning scope, no growth and work culture is toxic. Now I'm only going through Trailhead, YouTube playlist videos and practicing hands on in my free personal org. Are these enough to crack interviews or not? I don't have real-time project experience.
