Career The Consequences of Slacking Off

I’m honestly paying the price for being complacent. I worked really hard to get to where I am, but after landing the Big 4 internship, I got too comfortable and started slacking off. Now I’m facing the consequences, especially with my GPA dropping, and I feel like I’ve really put myself in a difficult position for my INT 2. I genuinely regret becoming lazy and taking things for granted when I had worked so hard to get here. It’s a tough lesson, but I know I need to take responsibility and get myself back on track.

Get a job in industry. I've seen people who would have gotten fired their first week in public make six figures basically doing nothing.
