OP your in consulting brand image? Perception? The perception is that all consultants drink regardless of firm, don't you go damaging our reputation as high tolerance drinkers

My answer is though: definitely, enjoy yourself and maybe have a beer or two. I'd focus on this more in the socializing aspect while also enjoying a quick drink as well

I’ve been a project manager (delivery focused) for 8 years now and have worked across multiple companies / teams as I am a contractor. Lately I’ve been feeling really bored in my roles and not challenged enough. I’ve previously loved what I do but now I feel indifferent towards my role. I’m worried if I look for more senior PM roles I will feel the same. What other options could I explore and has anyone else had a similar experience?
