The content reflects the author's journey in management consulting, where they learned to embrace their versatility and adaptability as a generalist. The author initially perceived consulting as a career path for those who are unsure of their interests or want to explore various domains. The description of consultants as problem-solvers who move from project to project, adapting their skills as needed, resonated with the author's own inclination towards being a "generalist" and "doing a lot of different stuff".
The author contrasts this with the more specialized and rigid nature of other corporate roles, such as banking, which focus on specific technical skills. In contrast, the consulting approach emphasizes the ability to quickly understand the core of a problem, develop the necessary skills to solve it, and then move on to the next challenge. This flexible and adaptable mindset appealed to the author's own interests and personality.
The content highlights how the author's embrace of being a generalist, rather than a specialist, has been a key factor in their successful career in management consulting.
