Would really like some advice… recent grad here who just started a job in consulting (got the job 6 months ago) and was just recently told that I would be doing something completely different in a group I was not at all interested in. Thought I would try to make it work but I’m very unmotivated and not getting any projects that align with what I had originally signed up for. Can I start applying to other consulting firms? Or is that wrong?

Same thing happened to me at BAH, started looking immediately and it was a great decision for me

Why can’t you just find another project first? Take a look at open roles in workday and start there.

I have, but since moving to this new team I’m getting pushed in a direction that was never aligned with my career. I would have never applied for the group I am in now.

I have also worked on sales, BD and functional spec creation for new features.
Can I count these as Product Management experience while applying for Amazon or other Faangmula?
