"being able to break down something that's complex into individual components that can be addressed and solved for."

"I enjoy most... having a balance between contributing meaningfully to engagements while also being able to prioritize my own learning and development."

"It takes a lot of effort on your end to be seen as a trusted advisor in the room."

"If I had gone to industry before consulting, I wouldn't have been able to... get a broader understanding of where my interests lie."

"As long as you appreciate the process of learning new things and engaging new people, I think, uh, you'll thrive."

"The job of a consultant is to create clarity out of ambiguity."

"It's easier to jump ship and join another consulting firm if you have that internship experience."

"Clients and internal team members, uh, remember how you make them feel, how you're there to support them, how reliable you are, how you listen to them"

"The biggest thing for me was balancing having a good time, which everyone should in college, with taking things seriously academically."

"It was super impactful to build relationships with the professors."
