How does the role we play in risk advisory change as we advance in rank? I am almost done with my first year and all I have done is take screen shots, draw boxes, and change dates (which I get, someone has to do it so it falls to the staff). I am interested in how the work changes, due to covid I feel like I have no visibility as to the work the higher ups do. All I know is seniors review my red boxes and prep questions for client calls. What else do you do as you progress?

Basically you become more of a PM/subject expert as you progress. You’ll be managing the status, with delegation, and deal with higher level problems (deficiency analysis) as you progress. Rinse and repeat with several jobs + sales = your future. Should be similar for professional services in general. You’ll get out of the weeds and view the forest.

Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.
