From 0 to 3 months in any job, you’re in training mode. You won’t be making a huge impact on the bottom line, rope in new clients or even significantly contribute to projects, but this beginning period is the most important phase of your career because of the opportunities you can create for yourself—and the dramatic failures you must avoid to prevent yourself from having to spend years of rebuilding your reputation. This isn’t when you’re most valuable to the company—quite the opposite, actually. It is, however, the period when you have the most impact on your own career.
After completing a storybook interview process as the top Bain recruit on the east coast who received an offer before the end of the final round interview, Jenny Rae was just average in her first few months on the job. She missed out on a huge opportunity to leverage interview momentum at the start and had to work hard to build her reputation. If you want to get ahead, 3 Month Mastery is for you.
