Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy. The things I enjoyed the most was getting into the customer’s head and figuring out what they value, which I think I’m pretty good at. I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...

...the subject matter. I like spontaneity and get bored easily if I’m working on something with multiple iterations. I can be fairly analytical too and am very comfortable with numbers. Tech, media, entertainment are my main interests.
Would really appreciate any advice as to what careers or functions align with all that. I’m a little confused at the moment. Thank you!
