Yes.
1: Cover the basics / foundations (ability to structure and problem solve, attention to detail, etc.)
2: In meetings, contribute early and often. At a minimum, recap the discussion and share “who does what”
3: Having been presented to by Accenture, share the “so what,” when sharing a view on trends. Take time to understand my business
4: Ask for coffee / speak with1-2 senior leaders, learn from them every couple of months and share with them an update
5: Pay it forward.

1) Develop a habit of developing a point of view - it doesn’t have to be fully vetted but folks need to sense you’ve thought things through
2) Look our for mentors within your service line that can help you navigate the firm
3) Can you leverage your previous experience to carve a niche in either an industry / function / subject matter?
4) Volunteer for project / extracurricular work and work your butt off.

Starting at a new firm is always tough - good luck !

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?
