re: Big 4 Consulting

I know I need to look for a different job...hence this post

My current field is 100% technical and it sucks. I don't even want my boss's job or my boss's boss's job. That's when I realized I probably need a change. However I am so "one-suited" now that it seems like getting any decent job outside this industry will take a lot of work but I am willing to do it. I graduated May 2014 in civil engineering at Arkansas. I thought in my current industry at least there would be a path to talking to people, solving a variety of difficult problems and making things happen. None of those are the case.

What really grinds my gears about my current job is I feel like I have a decent set of skills yet I am totally opposite of the model employee for the company. I much prefer using my "soft skills" where all my coworkers are happy being design engineers and never talking to clients and never solving any real problems. That sounds like a nightmare to me.

My father was a top salesman for many years at a variety of companies all now in the Fortune 500. That was always how I saw my career going. I thought I could bring social skills usually uncommon in this industry to make my way out of the technical side.

TLDR, square peg round hole I guess
