Senior Consultant - Insurance Technology Consulting Platforms

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your query.

The most significant challenge I've encountered in my professional career has been adapting to the steep learning curve required in my Consulting role. At times, the learning process can be challenging when delving into unfamiliar territories whilst working on projects.

However, I have received a lot of support from my fellow colleagues and counsellor and I have assigned dedicated time to focus on my development.

I hope this information is helpful.

Warm regards,
Weitao

Strategy and Transactions - Transaction Diligence and Analytics Graduate

Hello,

Interesting question! One of the most significant challenges in my role, particularly in Financial Due Diligence and Data Analytics, has been grasping commercial knowledge. Unlike technical skills that can be learned from books or courses, gaining a solid understanding of business dynamics relies heavily on hands-on experience.

To tackle this challenge, I developed a habit of asking 'why' consistently, even before officially starting my professional journey. I wanted to understand the deeper reasoning behind our actions. Coupled with this, we receive a lot of support from our team. This collaborative environment has been invaluable in navigating the intricacies of our work.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Vid
