What's This?
This is a new series of talks that we are doing amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the lockdowns and the curfews, we are making all the efforts to ensure that you keep getting insightful and relevant content. So sit back and make the most of your social distancing with this episode of ‘Konversations in Quarantine'!
Key Takeaways:
1) Competition exists everywhere. The competition only intensifies when you’re in one of the world’s best institutions.
2) The more of the world you see, the more you realise how much you don’t know.
3) Starting your prep early will only aid you in achieving your goal.
4) Be ready for rejections. They’re part and parcel of the placement experience.
5) You have to get used to your colleagues’ working styles, and your clients’ working styles. Being adaptable to these differences is key to being a good consultant.
6) The mindset of a consultant is very different from other industry professionals.
7) Consultants don’t have a boss. They have a manager. You have to make your own decisions.
8) Consulting is highly intellectually stimulating. It’s like solving a puzzle everyday.
