My patience for this job is waning… I’m 35, single, no debt - Made some decent investments last year in some AI chip stocks and now they’re coming to roost.. my brokerage account is now more than my 401k. I feel like my life is 90% work and 10% everything else.

I’ve worked with TA folks as SMEs billing 10% to the project, as consultants running a single tech workstream, and as a stand-alone team in the context of a broader effort (eg TA Partner, PL + 2 as one of several transformation teams). They also do TA-only projects
They’re different practice areas so in some ways yes but we do a lot of digital transformation which involves both
