I met up with some alumni friends of mine from the Phi Chi Theta Zeta chapter and we went to Providence and Newport! After apart for more than a year, it was great to see familiar faces!
Since airbnbs and hotels were expensive in Newport, we stayed in Providence instead and did a day trip to Newport. We checked out Providence, biked in Providence, went to Newport, explored the Newport mansions, had brunch, and went shopping! Seafood is a must-eat in New England area like lobster rolls and clam chowder!
Just as there are many reasons people want to break into consulting, there are just as many on breaking out of consulting or moving around in the consulting industry!
Here are some exit opportunities I’ve seen colleagues and peers head towards. Each have their own reasons and challenges, but all have utilized their consulting experience to really launch the next step of their career!
Anything surprise you? What are your goals after entering into consulting?

Follow Along! In today’s podcast episode, we go through a real mock interview with Kevin on an interviewee led tech case interview! It is good to do this with a partner as this may be a bit hard being very interactive, but make sure your partner knows what goes into an interviewee led tech case interview and is equipped to answer your questions.
I asked my Instagram audience for questions, and I answered it all in this video! It would mostly answer your questions about technology consulting, cats, or myself. I actually originally filmed this video at home, but when I was editing, I realized it didn’t record audio, so I decided to just film it on the go during my California trip so it would be a little more fun!
Do you still have any questions left? Make sure to follow me on Instagram to join the next Q&A or comment down below and I will answer!
Manal Meer studied biology and psychology in University of Toronto and then an MBA at McMaster University where she discovered consulting during an internship. Recently pivoting into technology consulting at Ernst & Young in Canada as a Strategy & Technology Transformation Consultant, she walks us through her journey, is an MBA worth it, how she pivoted herself, and even how it’s like and some tips she has for those starting their jobs in a virtual or remote setting!
I’m with my friends in this video and thought it would be fun to ask “Would You Rather” questions when it comes to our spending (or saving) habits! Play along with us and tell me what you think!
This is my first day in the office, and boy was I impressed! We drag our feet to the office after a comfy work from home experience, but Accenture’s new New York office just opened up at 1 Manhattan West, so I was actually really excited to see the views! We’re on the 66th floor here!
We had to jump through a lot of loops to come in. Filling out a Return to Office request which is to choose days you want to come in and get approved, a negative COVID test result every 7 calendar days within the time you come in (onsite rapid testing, at home covid kit, or rapid testing elsewhere), and then you have to reserve a space.
You can work without a mask in an enclosed office, collaborate in reserved closed collab spaces or in reserved open workspaces with a mask on, and then check in! It was all worth it in the end!
Are you heading back to the office? I did a poll on my Instagram story before and looks like majority would want to come in only a few times a week or month, so if you’re in the Accenture NY Metro office, definitely check it out!

If you know me, I’m OBSESSED with ikigai! I even have a YouTube video on it! I think it’s so important for people to pursue a life purpose or a career they find fulfilling and don’t have to “settle” for less on something that doesn’t make them happy, they don’t do well in, or just pays the bills or doesn’t even.
Ikigai was actually how I found out about technology consulting. I wanted to be a photographer, director, producer, CPA, entrepreneur, teacher, psychologist, psychiatrist, designer, software engineer, etc. The list goes on. I basically swapped so many times more than I can count, but what really helped me focus on a tangible career that I actually like was Ikigai.
If you’re still trying to figure out your calling or to even see what’s the next step, try this out. The point is to be as broad and open-minded as possible and you’ll discover careers you never would have considered.
One big important point to consider is ikigai does evolve so as you learn more about what you like and don’t like, hone in your skills and knowledge, and more careers and opportunities pop up, it may change! It’s always an evolving process and that’s the beauty of life.
