Hey everyone! I’m currently in my last year as a consultant and I’ve just been riddled with anxiety because of my job. I feel I’m not assertive enough to make manger, and have been struggling to work on projects that actually interests me. I’ve been looking for new jobs but nothing stuck so far. I was thinking of exploring product management, but was wondering if this is a better job for an introvert? I don’t want a role that is too technical either. Any advice?
