> When you’re an internal employee, you’re often encouraged to ‘stay in your box’ and not disturb the existing hierarchy. By contrast, as a consultant you don’t need to worry as much about the internal politics or history when suggesting changes. Indeed, you’re often encouraged to step outside your boundaries and make suggestions.

What companies encourage this? I want to work for these companies. I have the feeling that companies like EY, Accenture, Deloitte and PWC don't encourage this. I also feel that McKinsey, BCG and Bain don't fully encourage this. So which companies are good to work for?

I am not looking to become a consultant per se. I simply know that I step outside of boundaries by default [1]. I am clueless in this, I need a career coach. I don't know how to find a good career coach.

What I have liked to do in the past (personal/professional): pentesting, Python, C++, JavaScript, data scraping, building web apps, data analysis, improving business processes, trading (signal trading), investing (value investing) and playing poker (standard math of hand ranges, pot odds, fold equity, etc.).

[1] Example: at one company I was a programmer and I saw an approach to improve their business model. This has helped the company to generate 10% more revenue. As a result they get pissed because I am not programming enough.
