From College to Consulting with Rishi Shah
Hi there! My name is Rishi Shah and I'm a Spring '22 Purdue graduate, with a B.S. in Finance. Since freshman year of college, my goal was to go into consulting for my first full-time job. After 3 years of hard work, I was happy to break into the industry during the Fall 2021 term of my senior year. However, I realize that there are other college students/grads out there, trying to break into this industry as well. Hence, I created this podcast to aid them in their journey towards landing a consulting offer, whether it is an internship or a full-time role. New episodes will be posted regularly, so please do check when you can. This podcast will have episodes that cover tips & tricks that I used as a prospect, interviews with my colleagues in consulting, and what I am learning in my consulting career. Enjoy the content and please don't hesistate to let me know on certain consulting topics you would like me to speak on.
