I love consulting

I just wanted to say that in June 2011 I found WSO. End of June 2011 I learned about the industry and decided that I wanted to be a consultant. I realized I am coming from an unconventional background and would have to work creatively and diligently to breaking into MBB.

I am now working with a Toronto-based volunteer not-for-profit consulting organization and last week I secured my first independent consulting contract with a major Healthcare Regulatory body. I'm taking my Canadian Non-Target education and incrementally pushing towards becoming more attractive to MBB and aiming get in after my MBA finishes in 2016.

Without the inspiration and information I picked up here on WSO I would not be where I am now or know the steps to figure out how to get where I want to be. Thanks!

  • Happy Hustling!
