Practice tech skills. You could be making 2x. Leave consulting for tech. That’s what I’m trying to do. 👍🏻
That was my strategy; unfortunately, it’s not working.
I find myself constantly straddling technical skills (which is ever expanding and harder to catch up) while trying to increase my consulting skillsets while working 50 - 60 hrs & taking care of family
I feel that I eventually will have to choose a direction.
You have to 1) play the politics game in order to move and subsequently get higher pay, and 2) have better communication skills but more specifically better consulting skills to be more efficient in asking the right questions and leading the right work streams, and 3) advocate for yourself for higher pay.
Maybe how’s a good time to leave consulting, try to go for a manager role or a specialized tech role like in product management or even ops. But you have to master the above to get the pay you want and get to the career level you want.
If you’re a great team player with great work ethic, then it’s due to your poor politicking. Focus on improving in that area first.
