Personal and Professional growth and results. If you are not enthused by the process of learning tax strategies, investment planning, business planning, and risk management, you’re in the wrong business. That is, as long as you like people. If you don’t like people, there are many things to do in life besides this.
Oh yeah, you need to want to master the profession of sales.

Does anyone have experience moving from federal to commercial? I’ve been in federal for a little over a year and am itching for higher paced, less bureaucratic client work.

Any suggestions on how I can learn to be more assertive be it at work or personal life. I feel I am a huge people pleaser and go out of my way to be nice to people and make them feel good about themselves. People usually treat me like an afterthought but these same people come to me with all their problems and expect me to help solve them. I feel like a huge pushover sometimes. Any advice is appreciated.

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc). Feeling like my resume has a lot of silver but not gold. Thinking about switching jobs 2 years into consulting to either startup or small tech company (don’t want to be at FANG). Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?
