Not sure of many Hispanics that are aware of this app.

Right. First time I looked for this I didn't find it. Took me a while to come back and look more closely until I found it

Let’s just say I’m the only Hispanic in my office...

Ditto here.

Hey Everyone!
I’m coming up on one year of working in consulting post under grad in a financial services vertical. I know I want to transition to corporate strategy down the road, but don’t have much interest in financial service strategy. Should I try and switch into a more applicable practice such as M&A or operations? Will I be able to break into corporate strategy without any past experience in that industry? I want to avoid getting pigeonholed into FS, but with COVID, don’t want to leave.

Would my MS and experience suffice, or do I really need the EMBA for advancement?
