My biggest fear is that by the time performance achievement conversations take place. I will only have experience in this specific industries, which is something that I am not interested in at all. Any suggestions?

Talk to your supervisor who has a say in your performance review and salary revision. Inform them that you are interest dont align with your current role. Be transparent about it. If they still dont do anything about it, time to move.

Hey OP. I was on a staff aug project my first year as a BA. I understand you wanting to get out of there and actually go do “consulting work.” You’re doing really well though and have a very happy client, which is a good thing. I know staff aug gets boring though and you can’t stay boxed in forever. I wouldn’t worry though. I went to a new project as a second year BA that had actual consulting work and did well, was promoted to Consultant, etc. I completely understand your thoughts, but don’t worry too much.

I have been doing a lot of nonsense and just request from the client dince last June. I was originally expected to roll off on November. I was then extended to the end of year and now have been extended until July. I have a lot of contact with the client and they seem to really spprexiate my work. I spoke with my manager before the end of the year, telling her that I was interested in leaving and she agreed with my request. She knew that I didn’t not like it here. Today we had a small convo and she basically told me how much the client liked me and all of that snake talk. She asked me how I felt and if I still wanted to change and I said that I was still looking to expand my experience in other industries then she said. You have been doing a great of work up to the consultant level and you are working towards consultant right? And I was like yea.. wel you know I can help it make it right?

Sorry for any typos. I am literally just blasting all my thoughts here.

Are you fed?
