Any tools/podcast/books to help with self awareness, brand management and networking?

I know skills alone not going to help going far. I feel like this is a Desi issue, especially with women - it feels so wedding to create your braves, talk about your work etc, networking is really hard too! Do you feel that too?

Anyone here successfully navigating these? I'm a manager in a consulting firm and feel like my career has plateaued! I recently became a mom too, so add that to the mix

Hi! Best advice I found was to look at your firms core values or what their expectations of leaders (this should be on their main website) and tie the work you do to those qualities. Then your job will naturally view you as a leader. Best of luck!

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far. Overall, I accepted because I didn’t want to take the opportunity for granted in addition to the uncertainty with hiring due to covid. Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.
