Below, Andrea shares her day-to-day life as a Consultant at 84.51° from when she wakes up to when she leaves the office.
7.40 AM: A walk to work

“I live downtown and I love being able to walk to work every day!” says Andrea.
9:00 AM: Training at 84.51°
Andrea and the other new hires have training on one of 84.51°’s tools.
“We’ve been able to leverage several of the tools we’ve learned so far on our first projects, and it’s exciting to be able to add value to the company this early in my career,” explains Andrea.
12:00 PM: Socialising with other new hires
It’s lunch time for Andrea, and she usually eats a sandwich and salad most days on the 9th floor patio with the other new hires.
“The topics of discussion today? Whether or not pineapple belongs on a pizza. I, for one, am deeply opposed,” adds Andrea.
3:00 PM: A meeting with her manager
Andrea has a meeting to update her manager about how her first eight weeks have gone so far, and to discuss the projects she’s working on right now.
“She’s offered some really encouraging feedback, and I leave feeling ready to get to work on some new ideas for my current project!” says Andrea.
5:00 PM: Taking on new challenges
For Andrea, the day is done! She packs up my bag and goes to her first Core Pilates class at the gym on the 5th floor.
“I’ve only tried the Pure Barre class so far, and let me tell you, it’s not as easy as the instructor makes it look,” adds Andrea. “I’m excited to branch out and take on a new challenge!”
