I’ve been in tech consulting for 5 years. Did various things on different projects from software development to testing. I feel I have no real, strong skills and just stuck in my career. Anyone else been in this position?

So its called the consulting trap. You start developing impostor syndrome after a point and then you commit to the partner track because you feel like you can't be successfulat another job because you have been faking it. I am with you rite where you are 5 years in here too.

All I have figured out is what we are going thru is a mindset problem lots of consultants go thru and come out of. I have not figured out how to but I have a couple of ideas. DM me if you wanna talk further.

Im currently studying Industrial Engineering with a minor in management. I’m interviewing currently for consulting, and theres a VC course at my school that seems really interesting but I can’t fit it into my schedule without removing the last class I need for my minor. Would not getting that minor do any harm to me short or long term? Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.
