Think I have reached a burnout point as a consultant. Other than applying like crazy, what’s the fastest point to get a new job back in industry.

In my experience the best way to network your way in is through volunteering, I’ve had a lot of success with mentoring organizations (it’s also a great opportunity to use what you’ve learned to help those who don’t have the same opportunities)

Me too. Can’t wait to get away from this.. but I’m on H1B - so not a very good time to change jobs. 😭

Here's a gambit: talk to a manager/director/partner you trust about their client needs. Be candid with them. ~"I'm getting a little burnt out and think I'm going to look for a place in industry soon. You've seen a lot of XYZ. Know a good firm that can use my skillset?"

I’ve had a lot of friends toggle their LinkedIn to express interest in new opportunities with great luck. Of course this is smaller city Midwest we are talking about
