Grow your skills on your own time

You need to only focus on your skills based on the requirements of your exit opportunity requirements. Never just randomly work on stuff. You gotta build up the specific skills that you're going to put on sale in the market in another 3 years.

Felt this too, and in a similar boat. Are you in tech consulting or general strategy /ops

I messed up my screenshare in a meeting with 2 colleagues and showed my personal email that had scheduling info for my onsite interviews with another company.
