Have seen a consulting practice trimming their MD roster prior to being put for sale in a few months. No guarantee though as there might be other reasons (firm performance, weak pipeline etc) especially in this market. Is it already PE backed?

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
