Sandy’s Analysis: If I had to guess, consulting is tough cohort and not being from McKinsey, Bain is hard if you are not an under represented minority.

Your goal to “impact businesses and ultimately home state (rural America) by impacting the organizational behavior enterprises” is confusing. WTF does that mean? Sorry, maybe the real deal was more clear.
