PMDs: “I know every is tired of zoom, let’s try to limit meetings where possible

Also PMDs: “We need a zoom pre meeting to prep for the main meeting, which is also on zoom, and a debrief meeting on zoom immediately after the main meeting. We also need a zoom meeting with the core team after the debrief meeting. And the client expects us to be on video and in business casual”

I feel lost after 3 years of IT assessment and system selections (management consulting). I’ve developed soft skills but I’m not sure how this translates to industry if I were to look for a job (aside from business analyst or project manager). I’m not sure how to explain the value of this experience to prospective employers. Let me know your thoughts.. thanks

This is more of a rant than anything but advice is welcome. I’m so fed up with my manager micromanaging everything. We miss client deadlines frequently because deliverables are backlogged under their review, they make comments on things they weren’t in client discussions about, and won’t listen when told client wanted it X way. I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

My first 2 years was developing algorithms. Since last year I started business development, project management with outperforming achievement. What could be the next step if I don’t want to code?
