Has anyone found it difficult transitioning out of consulting and to industry? Slowing down and learning at a slower pace has been rather difficult. I felt I became conditioned to become SME in anything and everything super fast in consulting. Now that it’s taking so much time to get up to speed in an industry role, I feel myself continuously questioning if I’m doing what I need to.

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation

Need some advice. I was asked to apply for a senior digital marketing specialist role (the lowest title I’ve applied for, looking mid-senior level).

Supposedly the reg. specialist role is senior in their org. structure.
