Currently a tech consultant, but I want to develop more strategy/quant skills and eventually exit (hopefully to a hedge fund). What books/skills/habits do you suggest I start?

Can you tell me what is tech consultant ?
In other words, what do you do daily

I'm new, but I'm working in an emerging tech team, 50/50 producing thought leadership and leveraging industry expertise for both clients and internal initiatives. I'm somewhat technical (I understand the concepts and can talk the talk), but am not a super strong coder. I've learned some finance from friends and my last job, but not enough to feel confident, if that makes sense

I don’t like recommending it, but an MBA to pivot might be a great fit.
Otherwise quantopian has some resources that might help you out. Reddit algotrading I think has a reading list. Learning python and r for the data analysis side can help you with backtesting

Beef up your strategy/quant skills

Physician Assistant salaries in the Chicago Area? I’ve practiced at an AMC for 5.5 years and make around 116k salary. Outpatient surgical sub specialty, but the same salary “formula” as my previous role in urgent care in the same system. Another AMC offered me 124k 9 months ago for a similar role - which I turned down due to some red flags during interviews. Recently got a 10k retention bonus when I voiced my intent to leave but still feel underpaid as I’m literally keeping my practice afloat.
