Should've gone consulting. I don't feel like I'm picking up any industry knowledge or strategic skills. I'll stick it out for 2-3 years, do MBA then consulting.

Agree with DB1- I had a similar path and did both boutique and big4. It really depends on where you land and what type of projects you want to work on.

Why are you guys assuming he's in banking? He could be in ops, risk, or tech for that matter. OP needs to clarify.

JPM 1- good point. But if he/she is already in fin ops, risk mgmt or tech (it?) he probably has deep "industry" experience.

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

1. Taking ownership for entire team deliverables.
2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
