I personally hate Financial Services.... but some people love it.

Entertainment or Media would probably be right up there for me.

 

I really like retail because it's so tangible; least interesting was financial services, and I will never do pharma.

id say the most interesting is tech and media/telecom. provider care is really boring work, life sciences is ridiculous (especially pharma...have you ever made a value driver tree for a pharmaceutical? it is beyond insane), financial services i found to be boring as well since a lot of the work is around IT and risk. oil and energy i would imagine is interesting.

 

I only have experience with government and healthcare. But I'm a transit and infrastructure nerd, I can't wait to sink my teeth into an engagement related to something like that

They all have husbands and wives and children and houses and dogs, and, you know, they've all made themselves a part of something and they can talk about what they do. What am I gonna say? "I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How've you been?"
