Turned in two weeks notice so I can take a public accounting job with better hours, better pay, more responsibility, and more client interaction. I'm almost scared to ask if there's a catch.

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

My wife is a teacher and trying to get into the business world.
