What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
Continuing with the theme of contrasting doing strategy now as compared to my previous time in finance, accounting, and tax, strategy is very ad hoc and shifts day to day. That's kind of what I enjoy most: the fact that each day is a new project, something new to do, and a new way of learning.
I enjoy things that are not repetitive, where I'm not just doing the same thing. This makes it simultaneously a challenge, but also something I enjoy very much.
I also really enjoy the content I'm dealing with. It makes doing the job a lot more interesting when you're talking about television shows. Those are the two main things.
