I still take notes in meetings. After 25 years.
Got bad news for you. That's most of the work at the majority of levels.
Just different meetings with diffrent decks/notes.

No. Within 6month I was leading every client call for a certain workstream and after a year was essentially leading the entire workstream itself. Daily calls with the client, represented my workstream in weekly governance, etc.
If you become an expert with the client, their systems, and understand their vision and how your team can execute the vision, there should be nothing stopping you from having strong representation and impact on the project.
That being said, if your on PMO side then yeah it's meeting minutes and status decks all day
4 years in and I’m still taking minutes - also leading client calls and other stuff but the taking notes never goes away. It just becomes a smaller proportion of the work you do bc you start doing more and more things as you grow
