Hello all,

Need some advise in making career transition.
I am an Internal consultant for a SaaS company now. I have over 12 years of experience in the life science consulting area and most of it in the business side.

I am in cross roads now where every-time I ask to be promoted in the leadership role I am either told I don’t have enough experience or Good enough degree.

Sharing the rejection degree in the comments.

I am an MBA and MSc but not from top tier university.

1. No experience from the big 4 consulting
companies, hence the mindset needed for that
position or role is not enough.
2. Not enough technical experience to be a leader in
the technical areas.
Do you advise joining a Big 4 company at a junior
role or get an additional from a top tier university?
Or anything else?

I’ve been in life underwriting for over 20 years and honestly have never enjoyed it. The strictly production related work is hard for me to stay focused and be interested in the job. Any ideas on what else I can do and still make decent money? I’ve always found it pretty stressful and would prefer a less stressful position.

Struggling- It's so hard to work in an environment that's trying to move towards being tech savvy (teams meeting, automated systems, heavy email communication), when you have team members who refuse to change. It makes my job very hard because I need these parties to approve certain things before I can move forward in my role. It's gotten to the point I dread coming to work. Management is aware of the issue (others have complained too) but little is being done. #jobhunting
