Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Everyday I would shadow a current associate; joining calls on the project she was working on. I also got to talk individually to people about their career paths.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It has really helped me better understand what a role in consultancy entails on and in the specific processes of how you promote into specific competencies.
