Hi,

Currently in my penultimate year of a BA studying IR&Politics. Currently focused on maximising salary/earning potential whilst completing my undergraduate.

I am hoping to work in corporate/strategy consultancy and/or risk analysis.

I have completed two internships, one in classics the other in domestic political work, as well as working for a political organisation for over 3 years.

I was enquiring on the relevant pathways, things i need to do, to achieve this goal.

Thanks !

I definitely think you're on the right path. Using your time in college to get the experience is definitely putting you on the right path for when you graduate. As you're nearing the end of BA, I'd also use the time to build your network. Do some meet and greets and coffee chats so that you have connections when it comes time to look for a job.

Although, i checked on Google as well average pay they are giving is 9.7 lakh
