Honestly, you need more time to really learn much. Half that first year was learning the basics. You need more time to apply it to be able to demonstrate true mastery of the concept.

What did you major in?

You can get S&O/marketing analyst roles at tech companies

Like the miserable folks above said, it is better to wait to define your skillset / move towards mastery in a subject before jumping ship.

I left less than a year and a half into my large firm. That being said, I owned a biz in college for two years and circumvented as much typical analyst work throughout my projects as I could.

We’ve got to know more about you to answer the question

Totally depends on what your education and total experience amounts to...most other (non-consulting) employers would see you as having spent a year helping to advise other companies. From what I’ve seen, one year of experience (consulting or otherwise) means you’re looking at entry-level roles. Especially if it’s in a line of work that doesn’t know or care what a “consultant” does.

Can lateral to other consultancies with a niche focus or better WLB

I am a mid-level associate in litigation. In law school, I focused on appellate litigation and did exclusively moot court and appellate focused classes (successfully, won several awards if it matters). I am now doing a lot more trial at work than I expected and am feeling out of my element and not as skilled as I would like. Obviously I should have done trial practice/mock trial in law school, but it being too late for that now, any recommendations on what I can do to improve as a trial lawyer?
