Emma Lawler: It's a group of people I can come back to time and time again when I have problems with how do I, you know, figure out this business model, how do I scale this business, who are the people I should know.
Matheus Vervloet: We would share links to roles that opened up, and then I was coached a lot by second years, which was incredible.
Ceara Jemison: My peers have been constantly checking in with me. If I needed any kind of interview prep, they were there for it. They're just very authentic people, and they were able to support me in any way that I needed.
Morgan Harden: It's the type of community where you can walk out of the interview and the person who interviewed in front of you will say, you know, like, "Hey, they did the case question a little bit differently. Like, let me tell you what I learned."
Emma Lawler: I imagine throughout my entire career I'll be able to leverage the network in a variety of professional ways.
