I am tired of consulting. I am forced to work with different technology each time I change a project and they expect me to a be an expert in it. Recently I was asked to do Google Cloud certification and then I was dumped into Azure implementation l, which is a new technology to me.

I am three years post graduation and I feel like consulting is a terrible place to learn. I get 0 realistic support from managers as they expect me to be driving things on my own.

Honestly I feel like 3 years out of college and they are already putting so much confidence you can drive these things on your own should be an indication of their trust in your capabilities. So you’re obviously doing something right!
Consulting is a great path for people who like to learn things all the time, imo.

Sometimes i go into a project not fully knowing how to do x, but as a consultant it’s our job to figure things out as we go and stretch ourselves. If this sounds like too much for you at this time, and I’m not sure if it is, maybe you need to have a conversation with your team/leadership and realign on what you want to focus on (maybe just do azure projects, or Google cloud, etc).

Been working on mostly (about 70%) public sector policy and strategy at Big 4 for most of my career. Often go up against MBB on RFPs and have a decent win rate.

My client wants both parties to list assets & liabilities as an exhibit to their prenup without values, but waive the right to know the actual valuation of those in the prenup itself. My initial thought is this is a terrible idea & would probably make the prenup easily voidable since a main requirement for a prenup is for both to understand the nature and value of the other’s assets. I will research in my jurisdiction to confirm, but has anyone ever heard of/done this? Thoughts?
