I wouldn’t say any career change is “easy” per se, but consulting can be a reasonably good springboard into another career, especially the strategic thinking, planning, client management skills, etc. I’d consider what areas interest you then figure our which transferable skills would position you well to make the transition. Perhaps you could also ground the transition in one of the areas your been focused on in your consulting work.

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
