There’s a ton of things you can do. Honestly, I went from consulting to service engineer and that basically just took me working on things I enjoyed on the side and then finding if there were any roles that would take me. Lots of informational sessions and getting certifications in different technologies. Right now it would be hard to find a role as Microsoft is currently shrinking its work force slightly and trimming away excess. It’s not impossible but, it would be a challenge. My recommendation is to first find what you enjoy and think of things that are valuable to you like wlb and work from home. Does this position offer you upward mobility, is it part of your career plan, does it get you to be on the edge of your comfort zone?

You mean looking to get job outside Microsoft ?

Yes

I would recommend getting least 2yrs experience if your in ISD. Makes external offers way higher.

Your can normally bounce around partners okish. Only 1 YOE and you basically have to go for other entry level roles.

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
