Q7: Favorite parts - industry
What do you enjoy most about being in your industry? Working in consulting is known as a space where you get to work on some of the world's toughest problems. I think that is something really unique and amazing about a career path in consulting: there is no problem too small or too challenging for a consultant to develop a strategy to solve.
Just getting exposure to really interesting problems that C-suite executives are tackling as an associate is really awesome. That's something that's really unique to the consulting industry.
And then with that, perhaps a second piece that I enjoy is working with incredibly intelligent people. From my experience, the people I've had the pleasure of working with are very caring, good people, and leaders as well.
