What are some high paying jobs best for introverts? Hating all the meetings and presentation in consulting...but not interested in coding or data science...would prefer something more creative and visual!

Depending on the extent of your introversion, a big part of the work that qualitative strategy consulting / UX researchers do can be creative and visual without the data crunching and presentation / client hand-holding of traditional consulting. Think of ethnography and innovation consulting where your role is mostly observing other humans in their element, vs presenting and being on the spot. Then a lot of creative thinking to connect the insights from the qualitative data into a business proposal for the client. A great place for this kind of humanities-based is ReD Associates. It’s a fast growing field, especially as human-computer interaction becomes increasingly important. Facebook and many other tech firms do this in-house too.

And on the crucial high-paying note — it’s not MBB but it’s not bad. At the top firms you make 100+ TC with two YOE in the field.

Product Marketing? Or actually any sort of marketing actually.

You might have to pick something technical and specialize in it. Take a few months to dedicate to your education and pursue that opportunity. I quit my full time job to spend a month learning Salesforce and got an admin role with minimal meetings and lots of time to myself to just work. I loved it. I eventually went down the consulting path for a 25% salary increase which I’m now starting to regret :/
