Q & A with an Accounting Student with Eye for Investment Banking and Management Consulting
Hello sir,
My name is Sayo, currently an undergraduate in a top private institution here in Nigeria. I am currently reading your book, “The Road to Victoria Island“, where I got your email address. I must say I have learned a whole lot from the book, even though the initial motive was just to get answers to interview questions.
The problem is, there are so many opportunities out there and it is unfortunate that I don’t exactly know where and how to start my career when I graduate. I’m currently writing my ICAN and will be done latest by November next year, I will also be graduating next year with a strong 2.1 or first class by God’s grace.
I’m also working on an internship with one of the big four firms this summer holiday in the management consulting department, so I can have a little experience of what to expect after graduating. I know for sure that I am not interested in working as an accountant because I do not enjoy accounting.
The problem is I don’t know what to do to kick start my career. What do you advise me to do? Oh and I am studying Economics which gives me a very wide range of career opportunities. But which is the best to start with as a graduate which will also guarantee me a very comfortable future in your opinion? Thank you for your much anticipated response.
PS: My two main areas of career interest are Management Consulting and Investment banking.
