  1. Oh, data analytics is wild, right? I remember when I was all over the place trying to break into consulting, felt a lot like this–complex stuff! Was winging it with cases, fail city – McKinsey interviews were a shocker. Then I found The Thinksters, super chill vibe. They taught me to seriously think like a consultant, not just throw frameworks at problems. Back then, they did free sessions; dunno now, but man, game-changer! Nailed Bain after polishing my game. Trust me, a structured plans like night and day. Life-saver!

  2. As someone considering a career change, I appreciate the clear and concise explanation of data analytics and the practical applications you highlighted. Definitely motivates me to explore this path further!
