1.) Build your network 2.) Be careful of saying yes to everything 3.) If not staffed on a project, look at getting staffed on something you’re relatively interested in 4.) Get expectations from M/SM as soon you join a project and have monthly check-ins 5.) After getting on a project for 1-2 months, find 1-2 firm initiatives you can help on 6.) Keep utilization target in mind 7.) After key phases of a project, write down some important notes (will help you build year-end story)
