You might not like my answer, but it really comes down to perspective. Two of my seniors did a rotation in New Zealand to help out during their busy season, and they absolutely loved it. They compared it to the U.S. and said it was way more relaxed—just a much more laid-back environment overall. Honestly, it’s probably less about the location and more about the team you’re on and the managers you’re working with.

What was the hardest class year for you? I used to think first year was by far the hardest but now I’m a third year and I’m really feeling the pressure to step up.

The worst part is I think people can tell I’m a mess....
