I want to build my career in analytics. I have offer from EY India, EXL and LatentView Analytics.
EY is more on the side of project management and process improvement in SaaS, as told. While there is hands-on in other two.
If I don't consider pay, which company is the best to go for considering work and culture(peope friendly).
YoE: 5
Tech Stack: SQL, Python, Tableau, PowerBI

Looking for recommendations for how I can transition back to consulting and mainly MBB.

Because “doing the work quietly” is what an analyst does. Leading teams and businesses requires to speak up to lead, talk to clients etc.
You can remain quiet for your entire career in more technical / expertise roles, but project and general management will be much more difficult to breakthrough. (I’m an introvert myself)
Hello! Fellow introvert here! I used to work in marketing, but my boss said i was too quiet to be seen, so i had to “organise” a talk to “showcase” in front of about 20 colleagues. It was embarrassing because it looked like a public and very desperate attempt to gain eyeballs. I think corporates always lean towards loud people. So i hear you. I’m sorry you had to face this.
I hate corporate people uggh...
I totally get that. People were afraid I was quiet quitting, but in the actual fact, I just didn't want to say too much that will become our job.
I'm not exactly an introvert, but I just prefer to stay quiet, get my work done within the deadline so I can do other things. Why is being loud in office a good thing? They are such a disturbance
we are the same, it made me quit my job the last time, so now I am thinking of just working remotely get the job done, just have coffee and all that. I feel u, but just continue on doing work, kill them with kindness or speak to that one person who makes the bad feedback about you, touch his/ her ego, it will get to him/her trust me.
If you're not already holding a "leader" title, you're probably just this one step away.
People expect "leaders" to be able to give instructions, command people with wisdom and strength traditionally (somewhat). Being quiet and introverted can be labelled as a bad thing by some people because it can always be assumed that you won't lead the team right if you don't communicate well/enough. Some people who are more extroverted may assume that introverts are socially inept even if that's actually not true.
To hold the title/position of a "leader", unfortunately all the weird ah beng ah seng who are more outspoken (might not be as capable lol) will question your ability to hold the position to command a team. You'll have to work a bit extra harder than these extroverts to prove that you can convince people to work/command and lead a team towards success.
Personally, I think an introverted leader is ok. I prefer someone wise and only speaks when they need to, over someone who keeps yapping non-stop without a purpose to waste everyone's time. Sickening.
