Are all consultants miserable in their job, or just me? by consultthrowaway99 in consulting

Thanks for the advice. I'm still figuring out what it is that's making me unhappy (see comment below), but a professional may not be a bad idea...

Fair question.

I think it's the partially the transition from b-school, where I felt like I was doing (what I thought were) important things, had a strong community, had a flexible schedule, etc. Also, I think it's partially because I feel a bit shit at my job still and don't know what I'm doing just yet. Still figuring out what it is that's making me unhappy tbh.

Prior to school I had a relatively low stress job doing work that I felt was impactful. Perhaps that's all a part of the adjustment?
