This week I speak with Carter about his path to management consulting. Coming out of college, he took a year to do a fellowship in Taiwan. While he enjoyed the experience, it didn't exactly help him figure out what he wanted to do long-term. Going back to his political science roots, he took a few political consulting roles in Washington, D.C. Through those experiences he started to home in on what he liked and didn't like in a professional role. After building out a spreadsheet of every job he could think of, Carter decided to direct his job searching attention towards management consulting. Despite describing himself as someone who hates to network, Carter managed to network his way into a management consulting role in Los Angeles. Tune in to hear about what Carter learned along the way, why he decided not to become a comedian (or a lawyer), and what he would advise college students and those a few years out *not* to do.Best for: learning how to pivot into consulting if you're not coming out of college or an MBA; trying things in bite sizes early in your career and reflecting on what matters to you professionally; how to find and prepare for interviews for political consulting roles in D.C.Contents:Note: Carter mentions a few websites for finding roles in D.C. They were Brad Traverse, Tom Manatos, and District Daybook.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sara-isabel-seymour/support
