After a year researching Islamic banking, I remained keenly interested in the topic but wanted exposure to other industries. To get that exposure I joined BCG. I have now worked in industries as diverse as financial services, air freight, and telecommunications. My ongoing interest in Islamic finance is still prominent, however, and I was recently assigned to a lengthy project for an Islamic financial services provider.
At BCG I have learned that you can find the opportunities you want—as long as you make an effort to go after them.
