So many things fell into place at that moment. I&nbsp;quick\u00adly searched Islet for more infor\u00adma\u00adtion and felt that this must be the right place for me. Before the event, I&nbsp;already knew that I&nbsp;want\u00aded to work as an SAP con\u00adsul\u00adtant\u2009\u2014\u2009or I&nbsp;thought I&nbsp;knew, I&nbsp;had\u00adn\u2019t done this job before.
