Hello and welcome. I'm Patrick Curtis, your host and Chief Monkey, and this is the Wall Street Oasis podcast. Join me as I talk to some of the community's most successful and inspirational members to gain valuable insight into different career paths and life in general. Let's get to it.

In this episode, member, that Yale thing 2019, shares how we broke into consulting advisory

at Big Four straight out of undergrad from a non-target. We cover a serendipitous meeting at a party,

how not to get fired when you're trying

to transition groups within a firm, plus the virtue of not worrying. A really refreshing

episode from a young guest. Hope you guys enjoy. That Yelthin, 2019, thank you so much for joining the Wall Streetoist podcast.

Thank you for having me.

Could you start off just giving the listeners a quick background?

Sure.

So I entered sort of consulting through a non-targeted business school out in Boston, one of the 3B schools.

You initially majored in finance with an eye to go into consulting or investment banking.

I really knew I wanted to focus on client service.

I do specifically have a desire to enter the buy side, but definitely liked the client relationship building

and that sort of relationship management part of consulting and investment. You know, 2014 was when I first considered major internships in industry,

and that was actually a really interesting time within the financial services space,

specifically with the advent of Dodd-Frank in summer of 2014. And that was sort of my foot

in the door into the world of consulting and regulation and technology.

You know, a lot of banks specifically were trying to understand that title act.

And so my first job that got my foot in the door was actually working for a lobby firm

in Washington, D.C., sort of helping them decode the multi-thousand-page document that was

Dodd-Frank for the large banks, for large hedge funds,

anyone that was really a sci-fi that need to understand the really inner workings of Dot-Frank.
