Hi, anyone from Learning and Development domain?
No lies detected.
Did anyone exit from consulting to sales positions at Google or Microsoft? I am looking to pivot into sales and having a bit of a hard time getting interviews. Any tips or if anyone is willing to private message it would be appreciated. I have 3 YOE and 2 are in consulting if that’s helpful. Thanks!
Hmm. I’m attracted to engineers..

Build a pet project using your skills. Go to kaggle or scrape data off the internet and do something with it. If you do advanced analytics build some kind of pricing model for a product you are interested in. If your into data visualization build a dashboard on your fantasy football. Just build something you think is cool
This is the correct answer. I wish I had time to do this in addition to my full time job. Will start prioritizing on the weekends.
You should realize your real fear is not about losing your tech skills - It’s about doing something you think is low value . Just because one project has you in a PMO role doesn’t mean you suddenly cannot code anymore .
Op, I support you. Just like any other skills more you practice more you are good in it. Instead of building a powerpoint skills if you spent an hour or two thinking about which architecture style would have been better suited to sharpen your tech skills.
Read. Attend Conferences. Do external training. All of these things are important even when working on technical projects.
Try out some Udemy courses.
Which firm? You need to check if they have projects on type of work you like!
This is the one thing I have not enjoyed about consulting is because of the utilization target I’ve taken 3 PMO type projects back to back over 9 months of time and feel like I’ve lost the edge I had because the work isn’t technical at all. Director1 is right about attending conferences - I’ve used my PTO to go to conferences and learned some new skills but it also was a reminder how fast everything is advancing. C1, is 100% right too on the pet projects - if it wasn’t for creating dashboards and working on automating fulfillment in an e-commerce site ... I’d feel like I had lost all my technical skills
Staff aug bw projects you do like isn’t all that bad. Beats the bench I guess. Firm has to cover your salary somehow.
