Coming out of MBA, I'm working as a consultant at a strategy consulting firm. Project team wise, there's manager / associate partner above me. It might be a bit weird to directly reach out to partner without the presence of manager or associate partner.
Would like to seek your advice on what's the best way to work with partners? (Or put it another way - what's the best way to foster a solid working relationship with partners?)
Many people say that partner's ‘’perception'' of you is as important as your performance. But many time, partners don't have a clear idea about the job distribution of junior team members.
In my situation, excluding team meetings, I don't have much opportunity to interact with the partner independently and have enough ‘’exposure''. So I'd like to find a way to interact more with the partner and foster a positive working relationship.
Any tips would be appreciated!
