Why did you go into consulting? For me it was to figure out what I wanted to do but I feel like the longer I stay the less confident I am in figuring that out

I feel you on that because I am pretty much in the same boat. I wanted to figure out what to do with my life and also wanted to make good money. The work life balance at my company is non-existent though and I just don't know if this is the career for me.

That’s exactly where I’m at too. It’s been a good learning experience but the hours are making me really question whether this is the right career for me

I chose it because it seemed to provide a lot of great experience to continue to learn and develop and work with other talented people, all while not having to declare a specific focus or get pigeonholed into something. Also some of the perks and travel were interesting to me as a college student. I still have no idea what I would want to specialize in but have learned a few things I definitely don’t want to do.

I don’t think it really will either. I honestly don’t know how people really confidently know what they want to do.
