A generalist describes swinging between huge wins and sudden firings across different jobs. Being named a 40 Under 40 in Boston felt like crushing it. Then the same energy got them fired elsewhere. The pattern keeps repeating.
So I was always jumping into opportunities with both feet, enthusiastic. And I used to say things, how much I loved change, right? Which I found out was not always popular. And what I was finding is I was either excelling in the role that I was in, getting accolades, fellowships. I was a 40 Under 40 in Boston. People really just loving my work. And then I'd show up in a different role, and I'm the exact same person bringing the exact same energy, and I would be shown the door. And I was like, what, what's happening here? And so I was, you know, as I talk about it, either crushing it or crashing out.
