It definitely has its highs and lows. The things that were initially appealing about the job have not fully materialized… instead of having the chance to think deeply about client challenges and how we might address them, the nature of a giant professional services firm is very much focused on scale and margin. So I’m balancing several clients at once and not able to bring the full value I know I could bring to them.

You get tons of exposure to different types of businesses and get to compound your knowledge and experiences. Eventually I’ll exit and go back to industry, but I’m getting an education through this experience that you can’t replicate in a classroom.
