Wrapping up an MBA this semester. I expect to finish with a 4.0 if that matters. Been self employed running a small business for the past 2.5 years, but the industry is going to be struggling for a while. I can starve it out, but I’m also revisiting an interest in consulting that I didn’t pursue many years ago. I feel a bit off the typical path. Wondering if anyone has any guidance as I explore this further.
