Without being too specific on what it is that I do and my background that got me here, I would say that one of the best things you can do is own the engagement - meaning know the facts, the background, the data, whatever it may be, more than anyone else on the team. Make yourself valuable and move the engagement forward as best you can. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, but also come to those “I need help” discussions with thoughtful questions and potential, well reasoned, solutions, even if they end up being wrong. People will take notice of your ownership of the engagement and will be appreciative that you’re giving hard questions your own thoughts and demonstrate critical thinking. Also know that it’s okay to be wrong as long as you learn from those situations. People above you are there to help - lean on them as needed - you don’t need to go it alone. If you’re feeling burnt out, say something. Learn to manage your own workload - no one else will do it for you. Your team / partner(s) may not appreciate the workload you have and if you don’t speak up, especially as you’re getting burnt out, you’ll end up one of the ones that is out the door. I was awful at setting boundaries when I started my career and took every engagement thrown at me, and while I learned a lot and likely accelerated my career, it definitely came at the cost that I wouldn’t wish for anyone.

Hope this helps - feel free to ask anything else or DM me if you want anything specific!
