Where do people exit to after corp dev when they are still on the junior side? Thinking what good roles to accelerate progression

From what I’ve seen folks usually have a few common exits:

1.) Exit to another Corp Dev team at another organization for a title / comp increase

2.) If they are interested in staying with the company / business, stay and transition to the business side which is usually strategy or some type of finance role

3.) Depending on role at your respective company, transitioning to Corporate Strategy

4.) Business School

Hi Fishes,
I have an experience of 6 years in Production and Application Support. I have worked as middleware administrator as well for Jboss and Weblogic.
But due to the diminishing demands of the role in IT industry , I am planning to switch my career in Devops or AWS which would help me grow.
But I am not sure without any practical knowledge, will I get a job at this many years of experience in a different profile.
Do companies hire for AWS profiles with good packages at beginners level?

Hello!

I joined Accenture 5 months back as a lateral hire ( Level 11 ) and have been a part of a project since day one.

I am not enjoying my work here, no motivation at all. Dreaded to report to work and having stress and anxiety. My manager is trying to micromanage me as productivity is on the lower side.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.
What are my options here ?
Is project release possible ?
