Looking to get into consulting but having a hard time figuring out how to access the industry. Before my position in finance I worked in Real Estate for several years and currently have an MBA from a non target as well as my Series 7, Series 63, SIE, and am bilingual if those count for anything these days. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
