What I wish was different
I wish I would have known how much information I would need to absorb, so I could have started earlier.
Advice

Advice
One advice I would give is to take advantage of rotations and summer career experience. I did not get to do it due to my class schedule but , You essentially get to work in a different role and gain more knowledge within the company . The company also offers tuition reimbursement as well as fitness reimbursement.
