Hey everyone, I’ve been in the analytics/IT solutions industry for about 3 years now and I don’t think it is for me. I don’t have the passion or care about some of these solutions. Any recommendations for a pivot to an new industry or specific company would be awesome. Not looking for people to reach out with interviews but rather well guided advice from there perspective for me to weigh on my own. Much appreciated!! Things to note: Trying to leave consulting.

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?

Our group recently began a mentoring program - 1st through 5th years get paired up with 6th year+ associates or partners and are encouraged to meet up (virtually) at least a couple times a month.
