Does anyone have any information on Product Solutions at Baker Tilly? I’m currently interviewing for the role and I want to gain more information about about a couple of things.
First, what is the work like. Are we just regular consultants doing dashboards or does it actually develop you in core Product Management skills.
Second, is it a good role? As in exit opportunities if needed after working?

My whole life I identified as an introvert because people were always telling me I’m shy and quiet. I became less introverted throughout college but still believed myself to be an introvert.
My advice: stop identifying yourself as one or the other and putting yourself in a box. I really believe that constantly telling yourself you’re an introvert makes you more introverted. Basically, fake it till you make it.
Action items: just force yourself to send the email, schedule the call, sign up for a course, whatever it may be. You literally have to force yourself to do it in the beginning. If it helps you, before the call, write down a rough agenda and any potential questions you could ask. Another thing - try to form deeper connections with a few people that you actually enjoy speaking to. That MIGHT make networking feel less like networking.
Take everything I said with a grain of salt because I’m still veryyyy early in my career but these are just some things that have helped me :)
Exactlyyyyy I’ve been having this thought a lot recently. Definitely like self fulfilling prophecies that’s a great way to put it!

I’m an extrovert on WhatsApp
I'm definitely more introverted by nature, so I've had to push myself out of my comfort zone and force myself to be more vocal/engaging. Sometimes it's easier than others, but overall it's helped me tremendously, both in terms of interpersonal skills as well as career progression. Keep your eye on the prize.

Major introvert here. Covid was a blessing because it made networking online more acceptable.
Although on the odd occasion I will push myself to strategically network. Can’t change my nature so I don’t do it like the extroverts do. But also my relationships are a lot deeper and meaningful.
I'm an introvert but I network through personal relationships (quality over quantity!). I have been able to leverage my skillsets as an introvert (deep thinking, feeler, etc.,) to build meaningful relationships with like minded people. It has been pivotal for me in my career because these folks have the extrovertedness that leads to a huge network they're more than happy to introduce me to.
I'm an introvert in large social settings. But when it comes to networking or presenting myself in interviews etc, I rehearse enough to the point that I am confident. I'm also pretty good at small talk in one on one convos.
Same. I never understood how im a good talker one on one and in small groups, but find it that much more difficult in large groups..
What makes it harder for you in large groups if u dont mind me asking?

I identify as an introvert particularly since graduating college and more recently since Covid. I think that my cultural background hasn’t helped with this. This is something that I am hyper-aware of and am not sure I have found the answer to yet.

Our lived experiences can [sometimes] be a template of how not be raise our children. Not saying it’s always all bad, but [hopefully] there are things we can do differently - especially treating daughters and sons equally!
I’ve been told I’m a good listener
Being an introvert doesn’t mean you’re not capable of networking or socializing. All it means is what recharges you mentally is doing things by yourself. Social gatherings, networking events, team colocation exhausts me, but I can hold conversations, be engaging, etc. My wife is an extrovert and those are the things she seeks out for energy.
Like a lot of things, it takes work, and a lot of mental energy and focus to get there.
Don’t let people define you. You define you.
Read the book Quiet by Susan Cain - it's great to harness your introvertedness.
One of the things she says is for introverts preparation helps e.g. thinking about agenda before meetings, thinking about questions or talking points before networking events
