Jack of all trades but master of none? What’s your technology background

like

I finished and change industries

2 yrs with more of a generalist background may not be serving you. When you apply to these positions are you getting referrals? Do you get hits for other jobs? Startups may be a better option but you’d still need to network and you’ll need a solid story (less about leaving, moreso what you want to do).

Okay, noted advice..

What types of positions are you applying to? Sounds like you have the typical ACN change/project management background which could be hurting you.

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
