It’s been a while since I’ve last blogged coz, as usual, work takes over pretty much every aspect of my life. I don’t have a problem with working hard. It’s just that sometimes I feel like I’m wasting my life if this isn’t what I want to be doing. But, I gotta finish whatever it is that I’ve signed up for. That’s just the right thing to do.
I can’t say I hate my job because I do learn tremendously from it, but there is just no passion. I’m not here to complain my job again. It’s just that something someone has said a while back had really stuck with me. That person said I’m only living the way I am now because I’m not searching hard enough. But, searching is *precisely* what I’ve been doing.
Each new project is almost the equivalent of a new job for me. My roles change dramatically from project to project, and, lately, I’ve been playing merry-go-around with clients. With the start of each new project, I keep wishing I’ll find something I truly enjoy doing, but, sucks for me, that hasn’t happened yet. There are still some aspects of consulting that I haven’t tried yet, so in the spirit of giving everything a try, I’ll just keep trying. Until then, the happiest time of my day is having him hold me and kiss me goodnight at the end of the day. :)

The very nature of consulting has the "delaying" effect on people. Each project is so finite in time that you can always look forward to the next better project. For MBAs, in particular, consulting is a very good way to delay the decision on what to do with life for a few years or so. Having said that, I've done that before bschool and I'm doing it after bschool. Why? Because I've found the passion for problem solving and also the passion of working with highly capable people. If anything, my advice for those lost in consulting is to look at your boss and see if you want to be like him when you are promoted. If not, then it's time to go. Consulting, afterall, is a apprecticeship model.
