It sounds like you don’t particularly like your job and you’re working just hard enough to avoid being fired. Plenty of people get to that point, and in the absence of a financial windfall, start looking for a new job!
Yeah, you nailed it, there is no doubt about it. Definitely looking to re-direct my career path now (long term goal of being CSO or equivalent in the future).
Of course, it’s felt like a tough sell trying to get into Corp Strat roles when the hiring managers are coming from strategy consulting themselves and can quickly spot the “no promotion after 5 years” (at least, that’s my insecurity; nobody has actually called that out yet explicitly). Maybe that’s my actual question: has this “no promo in 5 years in consulting” actually been a barrier for folks or am I making a mountain of a molehill?
