Thinking about quitting 6 months in.

So far I been on 2 projects and both of them are not really allowing me to grow technically.
I realize thay consulting just have too much PMO work for my taste.

Started interviewing 2 weeks ago and now I am considering to just quit and study for interviews........

Why not just coast and collect pay checks? I’m actually in a legit Analytics project but I want a PMO role so I can unwind and learn stuff on my own

Sure thing

I know the phrase “quiet quitting” has been overused lately but that’s my suggestion. Just do the bare minimum to keep afloat (and get paid) and focus on learning new skills, enjoying hobbies, and living life outside of working hours. I’d include applying/interviewing in there as well.
