I have been working in consulting for 7 years and I’m in my fourth role now. Started in a consulting firm and I’m now doing in-house consulting work. However I have always disliked the nature of work - it is unpredictable, demanding and social. My boss is also quite mean and harsh.
2 years ago I started doing a biochemistry degree just for fun. Turns out I really like it and I’m planning to do a masters in this area, then hopefully become a research assistant. I feel like it aligns with my personality better since I’m a quiet person.
However friends told me I could be over-estimating my interest in this area. They said just “change jobs until you find a better one” and suggested that I’m unconsciously escaping from my problems, not running towards my passion…
Edit: typo in the topic! I mean “running away from vs towards”!
