What is a senior advisory and how to become one
It's no coincidence that "advisory" sounds a lot like "advice" -- most of what a senior advisory does can be classified as giving advice professionally. Clients turn to the senior advisory in order to get help in managing their business or assets.
The senior advisory needs to have excellent technical skills and experience in their field, whether financial or IT consulting. They also need to be great at communication so they can share those excellent technical skills with their clients. They might also have to manage people in more junior positions.
After a meeting with a good senior advisory, a client walks away feeling as if all their questions have been answered and they have control over the future.
