I’m a tech consultant working in the SAP practice. I’m a second year associate. I have decided that I don’t like the culture of consulting - work more hours, always add more work and responsibility to your plate, etc. I would like to work a job that is more 9-5 that doesn’t expect you to work in so many different things at once. What industry roles should I be applying to? Is leaving after 1.5 years too soon?

I can 100% relate to what you want from work. I’m
a consultant in the SAP space and feel the same way. I know that consulting isn’t my forever but I’m not sure what I’ll do next - maybe a data analytics industry role since that would closely align with my current skill set
