Need advice from the kind consulting folks on a potential boomerang, for a friend of course.

Say you worked at a company for 3 months then left for medical school. A year later you're having second thoughts - how would you go about returning to the work force?

No worries on loans.

Started a new job last week and have not received much training other than HR videos on company policies. Been begging for some guidance from my new boss and coming up empty.

I’d so much rather know what their expectations are for me? Also, any suggestions for goals would be much appreciated 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I fear that if I make the move to IC, they’ll leave as they see opp for advancement as connected to team mgmt. Past coaching hasn’t “clicked.”
