The fact that I got a prompt from fishbowl telling me to 'level up' by starting a convo in the introverted consultants bowl is hilarious to me. Do they not understand how introverts work?

Thinking of pivoting (in the next few years) from a big4 consulting firm making decent money to something more meaningful (to me) and hands-on but maybe seen as “lower”. I’m willing and able to go back to school or relocate for a new career, and as long as I can pay bills & save some, money isn’t a huge deal to me.

Some (def not all) ideas I’m spitballing:
