Currently a staff in IT audit and looking to potentially pivot to Supply Chain Consulting (I have a major in Operations Management from a Tier 2 school). Would anyone be willing to chat about the job and what they like/don't like, and advice?

Made the move from IT Audit to SC consulting. Would 100% make the move again, far more avenues to explore and generally more interesting work day to day.

I have started my career in backend web development. (NodeJS)
It's been one year.
So far I like what I'm doing.
However I hear so many stories of how people in cloud , ML or data science earn huge packages.
So, to survive or earn well, should I consider switching to any of these ?
If possible could you help me with what to learn and any resources for that ?
