I’m a tech consultant, specializing in SAP, which is a system a lot of companies use worldwide (think Amazon, Google, and Under Armour!). My team identifies risks in our clients’ business processes and technologies and helps them come up with solutions to prevent things from going wrong. What do I love about my job? My manager, my team, the flexibility, the responsibility and freedom, the trust. Management supports me in taking ownership and starting initiatives to implement that change. They trust me to interact with clients who are levels above me or executing meetings how I see fit, so we can reach the finish line together successfully. Advice? Do what brings you joy. Don’t do something because you think you have to. You didn’t get that internship? So what? Trust me. You’ll end up employed.
