In the NYC area, recruited out of college for an industry specialist consulting firm (not MBB or strategy) 1 YOE. Realizing I do not enjoy the qualitative side of consulting and want to develop more technical and quantitative skills. Do I have a hope in hell of getting a banking job if I grind and apply to as many as I can here? Or should I just try and lateral to a different consulting firm that will provide more technical experience.

Let me know what you would do!

Guys, I am APHR certified and practiced Organization Development for several years and I still had problems getting a new job after migrating to the USA. I have been researching and learning and what I found out was to switch career minimum; needed is education (first not not certification to show you have practiced new skills). This will lead to new skill sets which will lead into more experience.

Who has started a side hustle that they plan on making their long-term career as an exit move? How do you manage both your role and that as you get started?
