Kicking off a new series of interviews is Yusuf Shaikh. He broke into BCG right out undergrad, then leveraged that to move into Private Equity. Now, Yusuf advises South Africa's leading FinTech on business strategy, M&A, and corporate development.

Listen for some incredible tips for transitioning into finance after consulting, the importance of your network, and the process he runs people through to prepare them for case interviews.

After the discussion, we answer a listener question about generalist vs specialist consulting roles. Submit your question today for a chance to have it answered on the show!
