I've been in consulting for two years, and while I'm not miserable, I'm also not excited about any of it. Am I just not cut out for this, or should I wait it out a bit longer?

Can't speak to this but ive been in tech consulting for the past 2 years and feel like I haven't really learned anything. I've been a junior PM on both of my projects and I feel like most of the work I do is meaningless

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route.

When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.
