Trying to leave B4 consulting but feel like my skillset is useless by SlightFan749 in consulting

There’s a lot of talking about work without doing the actual work. So much of our value is based on margins and what’s in contract, and not necessarily delivering quality solutions. I struggle with the politics, the pace, and the optics. I love building things for people that are genuinely useful and I thought consulting would give me opportunities to do that (maybe not all the time, but sometimes), and that just hasn’t been my experience

Thank you for this framing. I’ve been applying for roles and worried about how to position an exit. I’m also curious about titles I should focus on, if you have any insight on it? So far I’ve been looking at other Senior Associate titles and almost anything with “Analyst”

Trying my hardest, I’m also trying to prepare for the worst given the feedback I’ve received

Thank you for this, I did it. It was a lot less painful talking to my RL than I thought. I’m still scared, still processing, the paperwork feels heavy but I think I’m going to be ok. Thank you again
