    For me, cultural fit was a key factor.

    I wanted a supportive environment that

    could help me grow, and thats exactly what

    I found here. While there was always friendly

    competition in our courses, it was not cutthroat.

    We helped each other with our studies, pushing

    ourselves to do our best work, and shared leads

    and tips during the job search.
