I’m a lead on a project and all the other leads got to travel to meet a client recently but I wasn’t invited. How do I not take that personally?

Why weren’t you invited? Hard to say why you should or should not take that personally without more details. It may very well be personal.

I’m not sure. I wasn’t explicitly told about this, I’ve just heard about it in passing from other leads

How and why does your project have so many "leads"?

Total of like 30 people onshore

I would ask

Good point

What level are you? If the “others” are SMs and you are not then that may be the reason

I’m a M but billed as SM to the client and listed as equivalent to the other SMs on the org chart and do the same work as them

The project did just get me promoted so I feel like they can’t hate me that much

Yeah at least that’s what it says on the SOW…

May be An oversight, just tell the partner leading the work you need to be added to the session… I would start internally not with the client.

The session is in the past, maybe for the future

Didn't end up making the cut in Strategy consulting case interviews. Would really like to do strategy / S&O some day. I love using data to inform decision-making.

Wondering if it would make sense to continue consulting in implementation then try to pivot again in the future or at another level - or drop consulting & try to get a strategy job at a startup or maybe do something else at a larger company and try to pivot internally.

Background is tech + MBA. Any insight appreciated!
