Business outlook
Pros
Good opportunities and wide exposure to business needs and challenges. Gives you a behind the scenes look into real life businesses and how they operate. I also like the travel and the opportunities to see places I probably would not have been able to get to on my own easily.
Cons
It's a big place and easy to get lost in the shuffle. You need to make sure that you have strong networks so that you can get exposed to the right opportunities and the right people. You also need to be able to take initiative and find ways of standing out so that you don't become just another cog in the machine.
