Curious why the pivot? Been finding myself pulled towards the same direction.

I'm also curious to hear about this.
I'm aiming to land in data analytics consulting out of a bachelor's in business analytics, and my reason to aim for consulting is it seems I'll be able to have much greater flexibility in my own development and a variety of work.

So pretty much you work In consulting, get paid half of what fang people make and In many cases work IB hours to meet clients continually changing demands . All the while the consulting project is built on a half thought out rushed tech stack/architecture? Meanwhile tech companies expose their employees to best in bread tech stacks? I really don’t understand why anyone in the field would work as a consultant doing data work? The only + is in consulting there are lots of low hangin fruit 🍎.
