When you say regress, do you mean your consulting toolkit?
I moved from consulting to industry 4 years ago. Definitely felt that the consulting toolkit was eroding for the first couple of years. Finally realized, it was eroding because it was not generally that valuable in industry in most situations.
The people you are working with most of the time aren't c suite or evps at the director level. They haven't been consultants. Your company probably has a pretty strong culture, which they are proud of. At mine, everyone wants input and to be include, to chew the fat a bit before endorsing an decision, conclusion, etc. So coming with a beautifully put together consulting-style deck of recs doesn't work (until you get to the vp discussion).
What I've realized is that I am building a bit different toolkit, some of it specific to my current employer, some of it deeper technical expertise, but you have to let go of consulting being the right toolkit and ID what from that toolkit still works and when.
I think your spot on with your experience.
I think my feeling of regression is coming from these interactions where everyone needs to chew the fat like you mention. We have so many silos at our company that it feels like I’m constantly selling my teams work. It’s very political.
And yes, I’m 36 so I feel like this is part of a midlife crisis 😆.
