Is the consulting market still bad? I left for industry to be an analytics lead. I’m a one man team and while I’ve gotten valuable experience there is so much toxicity, gossip, and gaslighting that I am beginning to feel drained. I’d rather get 1000x pls fixed than this. I’ve got 4 YOE, with an MS in Business Analytics and experience in Databricks/Python/R/SAS/SQL/Tableau. Honestly comp is my last concern at this point so would appreciate any insights or leads.

I’ve been consulting since 2018 and have an interview for a managerial role. Your concern what I’m trying to prepare for, so I’m building an exit strategy as I’m preparing for the interview. Do you mind sharing what’s the most soul draining aspect of your work and how long did it take you to notice it?

The macro environment is causing stress and pressure, and when that happens - the worst side of people (and then toxic culture) comes out.

In other words, it might be bad everywhere until markets improve and stabilize. That said, you still can draw boundaries and look for better.. not sure toxic industry job back to consulting which breeds toxicity even in good times is the best bet tho 😅
