Interested in this too. Having worked in corporate strategy before consulting, I can tell you that's it's similar work but at a MUCH slower pace. Mostly populated by ex consultants. The best move is to use strategy as a springboard to find a role in a business line within 2 years but it's not easy.

What do you want to do/ exit to?

Open to suggestions. I have been approached for strategy manager roles, but they all seem a step to the side, not a step up..

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm. Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

I’ve done PI work my entire career for over 10 years. I’ve worked in state and federal courts and I’ve traveled around the country doing MDL work and bellwether trials.

I hate this profession/career more and more each year. Has anybody been successful breaking off on their own in recent years? Advice?
