This is so thorough, thank you so much - I really appreciate your insight!

Loved the bit on higher expectations than a single employee along with becoming an expert / specialist in a particular area.

Super appreciate it all, thank you

This expectation might seem like a burden and it certainly can be but it also allows you to have an impact from day one. You are hired as an outside consultant and if you see something that you don't agree with, you would do your client a disservice to not at least ask why this is done this way.

For me, that's an important shift in your mindset that needs to happen. The sooner the better :)
