When I received a full-time offer from my summer internship, I was thrilled that I would have signed on the spot if they asked me to sign the contract. As the summer ended and I returned to Georgetown (after studying abroad at the LSE for a year), something inside of me kept pushing me to explore some more.
While I very much enjoyed the summer internship and learned so much from the people I worked with/for, I think a large part of me wanted to take a risk; not necessarily for something better but for something different. Not because I wasn't satisfied with the offer but because I'm just that kind of a person; I am motivated when I don't know what's ahead of me and I have to tailor my own solutions. I honestly don't know if the position I took at PwC is necessarily a better position than the other offer but one thing I know for sure is that I don't know.
When it comes to personal development, I believe I am a very risk-taking person, who embraces uncertainty. This is probably the main reason why I am pursuing consulting for now and entrepreneurship in the long-run. As many of my close friends and family members know, I want to run my own show one day. I want to own and run something that I can truly call my own. In order for me to leave that kind of legacy, I have to learn. PwC is where this will happen in the next few years and I'm excited but nervous at the same time.
With the New York apartment search and on-going mentoring, I am prepping myself for the next stage of my life at PwC in one of my favorite cities, New York. I will soon be able to hand out my own business card.
Yeah, it will suck not having breaks and not being able to sleep in and ask for extensions on my papers and projects but I define my own "happiness" and set my own priorities. This is why I will not just survive but succeed.
