I recently joined a Big 4 firm as a Manager in a cross functional Data Science and Analytics Consulting group. My first project is in an area of work where I have experience but do not enjoy at all. I’m not sure what to do since this is my first project 😬

Decide exactly what is that you don’t like.
Write down all the possibilities in column, and then rate them from 0 to 100.
Then do the same for your position’s job description, using the same terms where applicable.
Come back to your current project sheet, and see which options can be rolled in to those in second sheet.
What remained in first sheet but not in the second sheet must be unique, unexpected facets of your current, first project.
Come back here and ask whether those items are common for your job title, how much, or not.
Then you can make a data-based analysis and decisions.

Why has real estate remained lucrative?
Mainly agents but also developers.

The barrier to entry is low, not even sure if graduating high school is needed. My old agent even said she did it bc she can make a lot money and not work that much. She drove a new Mercedes and sent her kids to private school, husband was also an agent.

So I’m curious why it didn’t get flooded and the profit margin dampened to a $/hr closer to other jobs with similarly easy entry?

Writing annual goals. What are examples of how to write “quantifiable” goals as a consultant? Are you measuring number of relationships built, projects, or something else?

Most of consulting is advising on solutions to problems, but I don’t control the outcome, whether the advice is implemented, or the budget. Sales is easy (e.g. “sell $2M of products/services this year”) because there is a clearly defined measurement. What can consultants measure?

What would be suggested for long-term growth? Doing growth-related data science at a private equity firm or a role as a monetization pm in a FANG-related company? What are possible growth areas after the job at a PE firm? I'm concerned that a career in PM would plateau.
