What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
Beyond the diversity of projects I work on and being able to collaborate with different companies, which, as I mentioned before, makes my role exciting, I think the people aspect is also awesome. It's great to meet different people from various backgrounds.
I'm not only working with teams in the US, but I also collaborate with folks offshore. There's also an opportunity to travel. Within consulting, you're often traveling to different cities across the US.
Occasionally, you're able to spend what we consider an extended weekend exploring the city where you're working. I've taken full advantage of that to truly see and explore the different subcultures within the US. Different cities offer unique experiences, and that has really enriched my time in consulting.
