I don’t love excel but I like strategy. I can do the analytics but definitely not amazing at it. Is it silly to go into a tech growth strategy role from consulting? Should I pivot to something totally new?

Whenever you pivot, try to move in the direction where you make less and less concessions. If you've already identified the tech/analytics specific things you could do without, it would be a disservice to yourself to sign up for something similar without a concrete plan to escape it

It's not always clear what we'll like or dislike, but once you know, you can make burnout less likely if you just listen to yourself

I’ve been looking at business development type roles. I like people so I’m thinking that could be good. A bit introverted/too earnest but that can be improved upon right?

Excel sucks for presenting analytics, so maybe you can move to a role that allows you to use things like Power BI and Tableau. Gets more creative juices flowing and more of a focus on the user experience, though you do have to have the transformation and modeling foundation.

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?
