I’m 8 years into consulting and have worked across 2 firms, 3 industries, and 3 software systems. I’m having a hard time presenting a cohesive story/brand, especially because the one thing that I am kind of known for, I don’t want to keep doing. Any ideas on how to move forward?

Advice: Don’t be afraid of making career changing moves.

Guessing since you’re a manager that you have good PM skills that are very valuable in most corporations to deliver programs.

What skills or areas might you want to be focusing on in the future? You can frame your resume and story to emphasize that instead. Lots of resources online about how to do a resume for career change. But you have to have some idea of where you want to go - materials should always be tailored for specific industry etc.

Consulting companies like you to present a “story” that fits there mold so they can create a bs scenario for not promoting you. All, if not 95% of experience in consulting is good and relevant

Has any consulting or research firm done research to see if there’s correlation between years of experience (yoe) vs. happiness in consulting? Would think fresh consultants/associates with 0-1 yoe and partners with 16+ yoe are the happiest.
