I’m struggling to find exits and don’t know what to do. Feels like nobody’s interested in hiring a tech consultant from Deloitte into a strategy and operations role. Has anyone made this switch? Did you have to take a big pay cut to do it?

Switching now is the hardest it has been in 10 years. Your 3 best bets:
1. Network to a new place within Deloitte.
2. Transition to a role with similar tech management skills in industry, if it advances your goals. Imagine customer success management roles at software companies.
3. If relevant for your career stage, go to business school to change careers.

I would emphasize that Strat work you’ve done and minimize your tech work in your resume.
Or try and get on a Strat project and gain experience that way.

CapG1: I know at most of the firms I have worked for allow you to network into most practices, outside the ones that call for specific industry/ functional knowledge (like CPA). But I having never worked for their firm...so I maybe wrong.

I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy.

I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
