"the summer before I graduated from college, I took on a consulting role with a boutique consultancy that was focused on the public sector, in Washington, dc."

"a lot of the day-to-Day responsibilities are, uh, kind of with material presenta, material preparation and presentation"

"it honestly vari, uh, the day-to-Day varies quite a bit. Uh, consulting in particular is a field that requires a lot of flexibility."

"One of the things that's highly overlooked is kind of the people and the soft skills, um, that are being super critical to the role."

"Building relationships with my team members and clients is one of the things I enjoy most."

"As you enter the workforce, um, you wanna work very, very hard, but you also wanna find a good balance to be able to take care of yourself."

"One of the things I enjoy most is the ability to have real, tangible impact on some of the most recognizable companies in the world."

"Generally, there are quite a few type A people in consulting. But people who do not enjoy the people aspect of it can find their niche."

"the experience that you have...is dictated generally by the people you surround yourself with and less on the project"

"Every consulting firm has an analyst or business analyst type entry-level role available for undergrad recruiting."

"Don't be afraid to admit what you don't know, but work like heck to figure out whatever it is."

"I find that most people are willing to take 15 to 20 minutes to chat."

"Sit down. Think about the skills that, you know, you're developing and thinking, thinking about then how you frame that up for a full-time, uh, role"
