I don’t find much fulfillment from consulting and I’ve noticed that lately I’ve been flying under the radar and not doing much, which makes me feel even less fulfilled. I do like the style of work though and the flexibility that it provides, so I’m not sure what to do. Am I just going to be unfulfilled forever?

If you like the style of work, then you need to find another practice or company. Flying under the radar in consulting is a recipe to get PIP

And also not so great snapshots since they’re every 3 months. If you’re not doing anything, there’s nothing for your leads to review you on.

Do you feel more fulfilled when there is more work for you to do? I assume it’s probably just a slow period on your project and will ramp back up again.

This could be true. I don’t have a defined role so it’s pretty low energy

Bro. If you think your work is the source of fulfillment, you have priorities wrong. Would really encourage some spiritual reflection and study. Kids, faith, hobbies those all bring fulfillment. Work is a paycheck. Great to not hate it but never forget it’s almost always just a means to an end. Unless you’re a founder growing your own business

OP sounds like you should start a new hobby. Hiking, exploring a city, maybe something creative?

It’s easy to get into a rut, and it’s amazing how much better one feels when you start expanding your mind a bit.

Seconded. :P

Honestly I’d say find other avenues of fulfillment.

When you inevitably go on a new project and aren’t flying under the radar you’ll miss these days

Hi folks,

I have 9 years of experience as a QA out of which last 2-3 is an individual contributor (sole qa owner) plus team lead of a qa team.. I want to pursue masters in the UK so I can have a role like Project Manager/Test Manager/Scrum Master in the future.. what course should I go for:
1. MSc Management
2. Business Analysis and Consulting
3. MBA (not so easy as I don't want to give GMAT, will select certain colleges that do not need GMAT score)

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.
