Message: Hi, In need of professional advice. Here is the situation, I have been working in same I.T consulting(technical) field for 2 and a 1/2 years. My current (big 4) firm would be my 3rd company. 1st company went bust, went from 2nd to 3rd firm because 3rd firm was a much branded one plus they do a broader range of service in comparison. - so I've got my reasons. I'm 80% sure I'll be getting my promotion from an Associate to associate consultant in 6 months, but company culture, its practice and this particular service I'm in does not capture my interest. My Question is: - How important is being consistent with my competencies? I'm below 25, been in the same industry for 2 1/2 years. Will it be absurb for me to leave to venture out other line of service when I'll be promoted in 6 months time? (Considering I'd probably develop more interest and grow faster in another industry) thanks
