As consultants- what do you guys do?

like

Entry level: suck up to “leadership,” align text boxes on PowerPoint, send emails, create dashboards, schedule meetings, too many happy hours, expected to be available every late evening (although, depends who you’re manager is), administrative work, drink the koolaid, pray to god you don’t get laid off and can stay long enough to hop.

Mid-level: lead client discussion, drive work streams, start helping with internal business development, mentor entry level, accept scope creep by leadership since you’re going up for manager and can’t say no, die, look for new jobs, die again

I would love to hear from anyone who made a similar transition and what they found helpful during the process… many thanks in advance.
