Early into career in Technology Consulting at a large firm (think Big 4). Have some experience in implementation and it has been fine but not where I see myself long term. Trying to figure out what other career paths I can go into such as Data Engineering or Data Analytics. Also interested in AI and Emerging technology such as blockchain.

Any advise and/or recommendations on how to navigate different career paths or any resources (learnings or certifications) to look into?

Thanks!

All of the paths you named will include implementation.

You need to realize that even when you are doing implementation work...you spent no more than 40% of your day doing implementation work - and that number goes down as you gain seniority

I hope coding is a part of your journey. Most of the tracks you named include that
