Does anyone feel super bored after going from consulting to the industry? It’s my first week, and I’m really bored. Quite a senior role, have to build a team, be central innovation team, but the challenges at hand in this company is so boring compared to what I am used to in consulting. I am thinking I might have made a wrong decision exiting Deloitte. I don’t know how much I should trust this feeling knowing it’s just my first week. But I think this gut feeling is very strong

As someone who took a f100 vp role I can tell you, the change is about longevity and people encouragement.

Much easier in consulting to work with motivated people. Much of my time is creating motivation for an idea

There is almost always a challenge, and it rarely comes looking for you like in Consulting.

You’ll see the pain points to solve at quarterly earning calls, trends in the industry & hurdles faced by your competitive and new entrants to the industry.

Takes more proactivity to do stuff in industry as you need to recognize the challenge and get ahead of the problem.
