Where the hell do we apply after 3 years as tech consultants at a big 4? I feel overqualified for a senior analyst position in the industry, but often times under-qualified for the manager level.

@KPMG I've considered that, but I realized an MBA is not the solution to everything. Plus I have a coworker who got an MBA at Wharton, came back to Deloitte and is currently doing analyst level work as a Senior Consultant.

Hate the lack of stability of any form. One day you're a rockstar working with the best team and client and the next you're rolling off, getting shipped to a town where you can't even find a restaurant to grab a nice dinner, with a shitty team and doing the work of an intern. No one guarantees that you'll be on a good project if you are a good performer. Also, no work life balance. Constantly being sick while traveling. And they don't pay us that well to begin with...

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
