Anyone else find so many things are just exponentially harder right now? Say you have a project or idea you’ve been told to pursue. There’s pushback EVERYWHERE. Those who work for me. Those whose inputs are necessary to execute project/idea. Everyone is DONE. And I get it but also don’t. It pushes me closer & closer to quitting, new job or no new job. One can only fight battles on so many fronts. FWIW, I work in a “matrix” organization, which I’ve come to believe means “getting nothing done.”

How many projects had you all implemented/led at 5 years of experience? I had 20+ under my belt when i joined accenture at 4 YOE, and i feel like people a level above me have done like 5 at most, and usually in just 1 area...

I have only been staffed on 1 project as a support since joining, and it's really boring compared to leading 4/5 projects at once like i used to.
