Not really sure what I want to do with my career. Anyone else wondering what they should do? Should I get an MBA? Should I exit to Tech? Should I stay in consulting and grind to partner? I’m only working for the money otherwise I’d be a chef or a DJ lol

Totally can relate this post. I feel extremely ambitious and have roles I want to jump to but I'm usually capped based off of YOE. Working to define my purpose and passion as well

Feel like I'm just no progressing more or less performing a function. I got potential but coach said hold the 6th man spot, essentially.
