l am currently a rising junior in
college interning this summer at
Amazon as a Business Analyst. I
would really like to break into
product management and believe in
my 5 weeks so far I have shown skills
to back that up. Would it be
acceptable to ask my manager to
recommend me for a product
management internship next
summer? My midpoint meeting with
my manager (and his manager) is
next Friday
I joined in Accenture as level 8. Prior to joining, I was apporached by a project, and they seemed to not convince with my lack of knowledge about the role hence they dropped me even after contacting couple of times. Now I have got call from another one and they also seem to be not fully sure because my last role was very different. My question is how difficult is it to get a project in Accenture? Will this interviews continue? Also, what are the chances of me getting a suitable role?

They want to be treated like normal humans just like your peers. They’re talking about the same things, watching the same shows as us and go through the same life problems.
My suggestion, take the title out of the equation and just talk to them like you would your favorite coworker.
I have had leaders in the past high up the chain of command, who, anytime I traveled with them, and anytime I was around them, never referred to themselves as their title, and made sure they were just introduced by their name.
When I asked him about this he said years before that point in his career, he had people with titles that he really looked up to and and eventually he figured out they were dumb jerks.
Agreed, forget the titles. They ones worth talking to will be worth talking to and the ones that aren't will quickly weed themselves out hahaha
You’ve got to work on your imposter syndrome. They’re not better or more important than you because of a title. They’re just another person. Take down the mental barrier
As a supervisor sometimes it gets a little lonely when you only have your employees. I want to be seen as a normal person who owns a pet and watches Stranger Things and wants to chat about random nonsense. Something that helps me with feeling uneasy about a conversation with my director is trying to decipher her tone, it’s not always easy but I can hear if she’s happy or angry pretty quickly now.
You freeze because you put them on a pedestal and think a certain way. you just have to engage as if they were normal person.
They put their pants on just like you in the morning.
If you have any strategic ideas or ways to improve the division/company, they’d be more interested in that than something minor/tactical.
Focus less on what you will say and more on following the conversation. That’s all it is…just a normal conversation.
In the same boat as you, OP.
