About this episode

Since this is the time of year when FC members are going to be negotiating salaries, attending case interviews and anxiously making decisions, we thought it is a good idea to once again reflect on ethics and values.

At times like these many sometimes feel that if they could just cut this corner now, everything will be OK... We want to provide some context for how to make decisions that will not only make you feel better in the long term, but will actually leave you better off financially.

In this episode we use some interesting anecdotes from Firmsconsulting to articulate these points.

If you genuinely find our podcasts useful, we would sincerely appreciate you leaving a genuine review on iTunes. The mission of Firmsconsulting is to make the world better by arming leaders around the world with the necessary skills to solve mankind's toughest problems. The simple step of leaving a genuine iTunes review will help us greatly in pursuing our mission. Good luck to everyone going through the case interview recruitment process.
