Hi everyone!! This is exactly the group I've been looking for. I'll be starting my new (and first) consulting job at ZS Associates at the end of the month and I'm so nervous that I'll crash and burn. I'm very proud to be an ENFP, but the flaws that come along with it (distraction, procrastination, disorganization) seem like a recipe for disaster. I'm not sure if I should spend this next month trying to change my habits or if I should just embrace it. Anyway, what advice do you all have?

Hello! The best tool I have used by far is mind mapping. I use a free piece of software called XMind which is incredibly easy to use and I usually have about 10 tabs open at once! As soon as I feel scattered I create a map and just keep adding to it throughout the day and deleting as I complete the tasks. It’s also great for presentations as you can create the structure in chronological order, and then you can always toggle it to a document or table if you want to share it with anyone. I hope this helps!

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager". The actual work I'm doing will not change significantly, it's just a Title change, since I've been working less and less with the scrum teams and doing more product analysis over the last year. My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this? I'm based in London.

Also, do you think it’s too late to ask if I can visit the unit before I make my decision? Thanks in advance.

Anyone make the jump from legal practice to being a professor with a similar pay range? I always thought if I didn’t practice law I would’ve liked to teach. Not sure I can give up the pay I have now, but would be really cool if I could get a gig as a professor that had a similar salary to what I currently net.
