I was complaining of not knowing what to do after my resignation but as it turns out, there was too little time to do everything! Again I was too ambitious in my plans. My internship at a risk management consulting startup was great and I totally enjoy that experience! An experience which I solely lack after 5 years in the government sector. Thank God I have this experience, else I would not have even realised that I lack it!
