SAS is a little outdated but it’s not useless by any means

I despise SAS but it isn’t useless. Plenty of large companies still use it for some reason. I would recommend using PROC SQL within SAS so you become familiar with the SQL syntax (if you aren’t already). For analytics, SQL is probably the single most valuable skill

like

Use proc SQL within SAS for all your work, and then you can say you know SQL and SAS. Take a udemy or coursera Python course and you can add it to your resume as well. You’re not stuck, you’re in a position to learn SQL, and even pure SAS isn’t as useless as you seem to think

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.
