How do I know if I don't like my practice, my firm, or if it's consulting in general? I feel like every project is underbugeted, sloppy, and mismanaged but I can't tell if that's just how (cont.)

consulting is or if it would be at a better firm/practice. Maybe if I liked the work more, I would mind less but I feel like both my day to day work and the goals of the projects I'm on aren't important/intellectually stimulating enough to me.

I have worked with Forbes top companies, for-profits, non-profits, & startups. I consider myself a solver of complex & complicated problems requiring mixed method research & novel solutions. This has led to issues in self-referencing title. I’ve been project manager, data engineer, developer, modeler, analysts, principle DB developer, etc. Most of my w2 work has been from offers of 1099 clients so I am usually asked to define my own title. Any T-shaped data people who run into this?
