Mind if I ask whether you want to stay in transit GIS, and what level of seniority are you at now (e.g. specialist, project manager, etc.)
In rapid succession I've gone from n00b junior specialist, to medior specialist, to near-senior specialist, decided I was fed up with GIS work and moved laterally to a medior consultant position partway through last year. I have attained an esoteric track record of projects in all corners of sustainable transportation policy. On the plus side, that means I have a cursory knowledge of a lot of other places to work; on the minus side, none of them jump out at me right now as the place to go to.
Way to make that lateral move. Only a couple from my GIS cohort wants to stay in GIS. It seems the natural progressions are (1) become data specialists/DB admins/Architects or (2) transition to manager in field of interest that GIS afforded exposure to. With this in mind, is it fair to state your interest is management/consultation of sustainable transit? Is there an emphasis on type of transit or what aspect of sustainability? Asking since I have a relatable experience in the field you transitioned out of (great job, btw), and I want to understand if there is overlap between in your role now and interests of EU companies I’ve done work with for renewables. Not because I have an in per se, but hoping to provide an adjacent field to consider. Also, jfc, kb’s first two paragraphs sums up some key realizations I had during my time between jobs recently that I am still sorting through. After your response, I’ll see if I can collate relevant advice from my time job hunting to add to that.
