Anyone moved from consulting into a customer success role? I’m being recruited for one and think it would be a good fit. ~1.5 yrs experience in tech consulting on implementations.

Primarily interested in how the skill sets translate and how to best frame my consulting experience in interviews to show that it would translate well to customer success. Any advice?

4 years ECM consultancy into Accountmanagement here. You'll notice you'll lose your technical edge overtime unless you choose to specialize in selling 1 specific piece of tech (let's say servers). I went into sales to up my social selling and im fine with losing the tech edge. Maintaining both will be difficult in my role. I chose to specialize in sales and willing to sacrifice technical knowhow for now.

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
