Help- The project I am on is about to kick off a huge multimillion dollar implementation but I know I am underpaid. Also I feel like I am not being utilized to my full potential, and have witnessed some *not* best practices. I want out, but I also think this implementation is an opportunity for learning and in 9ish months could offer better exit opps. Should I stick it out or is 2yo consultancy and a masters degree worth looking for a new job now?

Unfortunately, best practices aren’t always followed regardless of platform. Take the opportunity to learn and grow your skill set.

How easy is it to find a new job in your field? Is there always a plethora of opportunities or does timing matter?

Start the new project and polish your resume + start applying to jobs in the meantime.
The recruiting process can take a while so it doesn’t hurt to start now 🤷🏽‍♀️

I am working in healthcare as an IT/project management consultant. The implementation is brand new revenue cycle, but it touches many areas so it could open opportunities in areas I don’t have experience in now. It’s just hard because I don’t love the client or my direct reports, and I feel like I am not building my skills the way I could elsewhere but debating if that will change once our implementation partner is here. I like your idea of staying and applying to other places in the near future since recruiting takes awhile!

I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
