What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I think I alluded to this before, but with consulting, you can explore many different industries. From tech to consumer to oil and gas, I have experience in banking.
Before that, I was on a tech project. The client was this huge tech company that everybody knows about. I love being part of that industry because they are always finding something new, always new ways of doing things. Innovation is always top priority.
Tech culture feels a little more relaxed than banking. So being part of consulting and working with a tech client was the best place to be. Right now, I'm trying to get into tech within consulting. TBD on that, but hopefully that answered your question.
