How do you address the specialization dilemma in consulting?

Firm is telling me to choose between data strategy, data engineering, data science, or data management, but we don’t really have a significant amount of projects in any of those to truly specialize and work on one thing only. Also, I don’t have a very strong affinity for one thing specifically. Homegrown consultant here.

Would you switch careers for a 2nd time? I actually like what I do now 80% of the time, and I am really hesitant to switch again after all the work that I did to get here and the stability and benefits. Only reason I am considering it is because of the pay. I’m ok with the pay, but who wouldn’t like to make much more ?

Any consulting -> Tech sales people out there? Curious how consulting experience is perceived both from a compensation and placement standpoint in the tech world…? What should my expectation be? For context — I SDR’d as a senior in college and was promoted to AE right as I took a BA offer from McKinsey. Wanted to get broad exposure & become a more analytical problem solver… dont regret my decision at all but really loved sales and would like to get back around my 2-3 yr mark.

Thanks in Advance!

So I have a felony. I interviewed with a recruiter today who was super cheerful and nice. Once I disclosed my felony, which she already knew about since a friend referred me to her, she immediately stopped the interview and said she couldn’t in good faith move forward on my application given the nature of my offense. I explained that I had done my time, paid my fines and restitution and had the experience to become a great asset to the organization. -she suggested I look into bartending.

I started working this year after my master in a European office. I don’t have a focus related to my specialty. I am being staffed to a project that doesn’t seem bringing me more skills except the soft skills. I started looking for new opportunities in the market, but I suffered from being rejected. As an expat, I have a visa constraint, which makes some positions out of my range. These days, I quite struggle with getting myself motivated in my work. Advice, please!

If you left did you find securing a new job difficult due to only being there for so little time?
