Leverage your firm.

In addition to opportunities to network at your firm, you could look at some of the junior boards - Shedd Aquarium, Orchestra, Children's Hospital, Opera, Lincoln Park Zoo, MetroBoard (Urban League), etc.

If you're a young professional they often have mixers so that's a good opportunity to see who is actually in the crowd and if it makes sense to try to join depending on your interests and networking goals.

If you're a woman, Junior League is also good to look into.

Folks , I’m considering kicking off the job application process again. I feel like I can’t reach my potential as a PM at a consulting firm. For one, we have no access to user data, usually our users are clients, and we rarely get to interface with them. As a result, I don’t have any experience in A/B testing, or proper user experience research. Is this an extremely important skill? Should I look to jump sooner than later ? There are other skills I get to aggressively build here, however
