Q&A: 2 years of consulting -> corp fin

Hey monkeys, I've been reading WSO since my college days and learned a lot from the site through asking questions, so I wanted to turn the tables. I left federal consulting (transferred from my company's commercial arm, so I did a year in each) to join the ranks of the corporate finance world. Before that, I was a student at a liberal arts college (think Vassar/Wesleyan), had a 3.6 GPA, and did internships in ER. Ask away!
