I’m a SM at Accenture and meeting with my MD to get feedback on my performance and seeing how I can help with this account or others. Any MDs here care to share some insight into what they look for in strong SMs?

1. Self motivated / independent worker
2. Thinking about the bigger picture (sales or delivery)
3. Internal network to go figure things out/ work through blockers
4. Able to communicate with teams and leaders
5. Are you service or industry / client aligned? Both have different expectations
6. If recently promoted from manager, I would expect you to be owning delivery end to end and proactively mitigating risks. There shouldn't be delivery surprises to you

Jr. Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm in Central Florida. Good credentials; top 10% at T14, law review. Sick of private practice bc of hours and pressure. Also, not enjoying the work that Central Florida offers, but want to live here.

I want to one day have my own firm. Trying to think outside the box on how to get the experience w/o being in big law for ten years.

Thinking of applying to be an ASA and to the FL AGO. Would like trial experience or civil rights/con law work.

Thoughts appreciated!
