Frankly you can always find ways to not travel or have a life outside of work. Take a local study; find a meetup group; go outside... where there is a will there is a way... also be “solution oriented “ 😂

Customer Experience; I don’t believe it’s representative of the whole company or even the whole practice. Many people enjoy it (as evidenced by the number of awards) and frankly, if it weren’t for the people and senior leadership, I wouldn’t have stayed as long as I have. I could see myself coming back, if I do leave, but think leaving in the near term may be what’s best for me.

I chose the former and haven’t regretted it. However I’m now starting to want the latter, but hopefully can get it without a pay cut because I busted balls to get here

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
