OP just admit that you chose the wrong job. It's not that hard. How exactly are you adding value in a 'tech strategy' role with your limited technical knowledge and that fucked up attitude?

like

OP you crack me up. You post about your lack of skills for a specific role and complain about the firm expecting you to have those skills OR (and that's why I refer to your attitude) just go and research/learn/get someone else's expertise to answer the questions or help with the tasks at hand instead of lamenting that you don't want to do these things like a spoiled brat. Because that's what consultants do, they try to add value and figure shit out that they're not experts in.

The firm hires Mbas out of school promising tech strategy work and then makes you work on technical work- answer your question?

Op.. Then leave. If you're that frustrated, then it is best for both of us.

Maybe it is a level issue. What level are you?

Ah that sucks. I didn't realize we hired mbas directly into tech.
