What kind of exit opportunities are good for an ERP Functional Consultant looking to move into industry ...preferably into the Bay Area ...how can the ERP experience be best leveraged? Is it recommended to become technical and learn a bit of Data Science?

I switched to become a SWE. ERP is a complex software, implementing it taught me a lot about software architecture. I think this is a big advantage I have over other entry - mid level SWEs.
I did have to teach myself to code though...

Depends on your background and level. I've seen people transition to ERP manager (day to day management of ERP), transformation manager (PM for implementation on client side), BA, or IT manager (overall it, not just erp). I've also seen people go directly into a functional role (e.g. Someone who does implementation for the finance modules becomes a FP&A or finance manager)

Why is it depressing? I mean if there's something different you want to do, you can likely switch internally at your firm to build experience and then jump to industry from there. Or just switch directly to industry at a lower level

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.
