Hi, Im a senior consultant 1.5 yrs at Deloitte. All my roles have been based on my expertise which is Salesforce. Recently, I finished a project and had to find a new one. I was not finding any salesforce roles. As a PDM, I only had two weeks to find another project. I had no choice but to join a 1yr tech implementation for a large government agency looking into their business process. While I may be able to do the work, it is not what I want to be working on career wise. Any suggestions?

Are you opposed to it because it’s government work or because it’s not Salesforce work? Because if you can get a clearance from it, I’d ride it out then jump—public sector is where we’re seeing some of the biggest growth and need for people here.

It is not salesforce work and I feel like I’d get rusty in salesforce after a whole year on this project. They are giving me a clearance though. I am thinking about exploring my options right now.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

Doesn’t have to be high-paying, as long as it can support my life (single) and long-term medical cost. Thanks in advance.
