It’s hard.... lmk what kind of opportunities you come across. I am at a loss outside of one program that’s only for a very particular time period at Accenture

I am trying to break into the sector and it’s very difficult. And prior to consulting I *have* int dev/social impact experience. The short answer is it depends, there are so many variables it’s hard to make a definitive statement. Happy to chat via DM if that’s helpful.

ADP takes talent from within right? Not outside talent?

Mostly talent within.. unless you come with extensive international development experience
