How many people here got into consulting from university societies? Trying to broaden our reach but not sure if partnering with those actually gets the message out there..

I’m from a societies background. They are typically full of go getters.

‘Consulting’ societies on the other hand are a bit of a waste of time. Not impressed by the talent I’ve met from them. One dimensional. Get real hobbies is my advice to them.

Inclined to agree. I ran the poker society while in university and the challenge of getting ~€10k in annual sponsorship sounds more interesting to me than the story of organising 5 people who already wanted to do a project together!

I was in UCD and we didn’t have one until recently. I think they do raise awareness about the industry but you’ll only get people from commerce or business and law in them.

Not a good way to reach people from non-traditional backgrounds I’d say!

Yeah that's about what I thought.. Have approached other societies (maths was my undergrad) but not sure the understanding is there enough to want to engage. Maybe just have to wait until on campus stuff is back and hope to run into random people!

Inspite of lot of contributions they are earning meagre salary.Now do you expect these people to hire you for more package most of time the package you are demanding is more than what these managers draw. So pls do not look at kyndryl as any other startup.Thanks.
