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, Boston MD shares his path of 11 years of schooling to get his medical degree

to breaking into a top consulting firm. Learn why he pivoted away from medicine and some of the

opportunities afforded to graduate

students trying to break into strategy consulting. We also hear what has been the most difficult

part of his transition to work and one wise piece of advice he gives to the younger listeners. Enjoy. All right, Boston MD.
