First time poster. I work in economic consulting, specifically antitrust litigation and regulatory matters. Has anyone here successfully transitioned out of a very niche industry? If so, where did you go and how did you do it? Bonus if you got out of the same industry as mine.

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

Recruiter: <the candidate> said he has JavaScript experience and you said the candidates need Java. I thought those were the same thing.
Me: 😑 🤦‍♂️
