Trying to chart my next move and not sure what direction to go. All I know is I’m tired of being always “on” in a client-facing environment.

Any podcasts, books, etc I can read for insight into more internal roles like biz ops, corporate dev/strategy, other??

4 YOE total all in consulting. Currently a SC. Clients/work have been commercial healthcare implementation & public health strategy, risk, process imp etc.

I feel the same way! I’m a SC with 4 YOE as well. My current plan is to make a lateral exit to a retail industry position in the Data Analytics/Business Intelligence space.

I like the work that I currently do. What I don’t enjoy is being an actor in what I call consulting client facing theatre 🎭

That’s a solid idea! Also looking for a lateral move, likely to industry. I’m not too tech savvy other than some minor Power BI/Tableau experience here & there
