Move to industry
It doesn’t sound like you are thriving in consulting, so why stay here? Long hours. Lower risk adjusted pay. industry has better bang for buck if you are not on the partner track. You should find a good mentor to share these things with you.
I was a hands-on AI senior manager at Deloitte. Left because Deloitte was full of people who wanted to be recognized as AI leaders but never ever had touched a stitch of code. It was such a dumpster fire and everyone was jumping on it because they wanted the very much undeserved “AI expert” badge.
At first it was just annoying but then I felt like my skills were deteriorating because there were no actual technical peers to bounce ideas with or work with on the same level of expertise and without their egos and insecurities taking over in unnecessary ways, just a lot of posturing and convincing themselves and each other (and then unassuming clients) that they are somehow an “AI expert” because they are “passionate” about it, then believing it while making terrible decisions and obvious mistakes.
Alternatively, the other joys in an AI hype bubble is partners trying to take full credit for your work while making terrible decisions of their own and taking non of the responsibility and accountability for it while their super inflated egos lead them to believing their ridiculous and uninformed assumptions are facts.
The level of delusional and unethical was the kind of stuff only Consulting can produce. But hey clients still buy it…although less and less every day.
Consulting is losing its prestige and especially if you are technical go somewhere where you can keep building your skills because consulting is NOT respected in technical spheres and there are no respectable technical people that would ever want to waste their time in consulting. Think about your long game.
I run my own company now and would never hire anyone from the consulting world. They just don’t have any valuable skills for productive outcomes. And most know nothing real about AI. Just how to sell the illusion of it. No thank you.
Tech firms. Data engineering is an on demand skillset
Listen! Stay there for now.. the world is burning you don’t want to find yourself unemployed right now. Once everything settle change work place but right now any moves may be great but also could be real bad. So yeah stay safe for now!
