I work as an implementation consultant and my work is highly industry specific, utility billing for municipalities generally less than 20k accts. My position does not require any technical knowledge, only that I know the software well. As I look for other jobs (more just curious and not actively applying) I see that I am not a fit for much out there. I have no technical skills to accompany my IT degree because it’s been so long since I touched SQL. Have I siloed myself? Cont in comments.

OP,don’t worry..brush up your SQL skills and microsoft office..what’s your delivery methodology?Agile? Delivery skill is very much transferable and you can easily find a generic PM role in tech outside of your firm...

Got it,but looks like you know the concepts already..understanding technical jargons and ability to work well with developers if often underrated..you can transition easily as a techno functional analyst/Data analyst or Business analyst...brush up your skills and you’re all set...

My coursework was more BA route than anything technical, hence only referencing SQL. The software I implement is only implemented by my firm so it’s not like an Oracle product that multiple firms might be implementing. Also, and I don’t complain here, I’m 2 years out of school and made just shy of 100k this year, seems like I won’t find that elsewhere.

General question, and I suspect the answer is no. Are there any employment or exec comp-related jobs in the entertainment industry? Or, are there any law firms purely focused on entertainment that have a comp/employment/benefits group? I’m at a large firm with a lot of high profile artists, but I’d like to narrow my practice down to entertainment.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
