I had a bad leadership experience a couple of years ago and decided to take my career in a different direction and try and re-gain some work/life balance by going contracting. It’s been ok, but not quite the difference that I had hoped. I want to try and get back on the leadership merry-go-round but I worry I’ve burned my chances by stepping away for a while even though I had achieved a lot and had a great looking resume. Any advice?

Hello fishes.
I'm a fresher and I recently joined one of the big4 as a senior analyst.
I am given sap as my competency, but honestly I'm not finding it interesting. I was hoping to shift to data analytics(python, sql, etl, powerbi, advanced excel... Working with these techs).
I have knowledge in python and sql. I also have some development skills, reactjs and stuff(not relevant to data analytics).
Should I increase my skill set before starting to apply to other firms?

Well, I’ve about had it and am ready to go off. I’m sick of basically being told that I’m not doing my job. How should I address this issue?
