What did you do in undergrad to set yourself up for success?
I would say that I built out a pretty strong network between Greek life, the classes I had taken, the internships, and the jobs. I worked really hard at building out a strong network, somewhat unintentionally, but it has helped me a lot in my career, as well as a diverse resume.
I think this is your time to really explore, figure out what you like, especially what you don't like. That's going to better prepare you for your career path moving forward.
