Details:
- How career paths are not as rigid and their is great flexibility to switch between fields/jobs.
- Learning to get out of your comfort zone and experience different roles at other companies.
- At a point in your career with experience on your resume you have more freedom to change firms/roles.
- Consulting is very fast moving from one job to another meeting people. While corporate your entering workplaces where people been their for years. (Different Workplace Dynamic)
- Number one factor in career success is people skills. Especially for consulting being dropped into a company as an outsider.
This relates to my career goals as it gives students a better look into working in consulting versus corporate out of college.
