same. my projects have been all over the place and it hurts bc you became a jack of all trades, master of none person. you don’t get promoted on that.

Which is great because it mixes things up, but also makes it difficult to master any one area.

You’re a consultant. Give it time. Also, if you want to find your fast ball you’ll have to do it on your own time. I had a very similar background when I started. There are many folks, most of them, who only know what a standards document should read and nothing more.

You can get promoted as a generalist or as a specialist depending on what type of career path you want. Super common when you start out to bounce around. Then you either find the thing to specialize in, or end up on a large account and move up the chain as an account person and help on a variety of projects.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

AmLaw200 I interviewed with will likely go with a “more experienced candidate”. I’ve got 8 years and its a staff attorney role so whatever.

Pissed because they knew from the recruiter that I was a “diverse” candidate and they sent me the Mansfield self-identification survey days before they actually requested an interview.
