I am a problem solver. Looking at big issues and solving them, not doing the same over and over. I want to work with projects that have a start and and end date. I am interested in M&A work and working with distressed companies. Yet again, I haven't found the IN for it.

For referrals, how well should the referrer know you before you ask for one? I imagine the referrer should be able to speak to how it’s like working with you?

I would love some insight on a good potential career path and if I should look for other opportunities or see how the one I have plays out. Thanks!
