Getting to know our juniors: the pet edition
In our 2 previous articles, we asked our junior colleagues to provide pictures of themselves during their travels and practicing their hobbies.
In today’s edition, 8 junior consultants take us to a new and unexplored realm: the animal kingdom. Please join me in finding out more about their pets and why they chose these specific pictures!

This picture was taken 2 years ago in South Africa on a Safari in Addo Elephant National Park. In the back you can see a meerkat (a small southern African mongoose). This totem was given to me at the Scouts, so it has a special meaning. This was the first time I’d seen a meerkat in real life.Lies
Meet Poews, my new best friend. Just like her I'm a curious person. We are both eager to learn and always accept a challenge. After a working day we like to watch TV series and browse the internet.Servaas
According to many stereotypes, it may seem a little absurd to compare yourself with a donkey. But after some research ( and the lack of any other animal picture :P), I discovered that I may have more in common with my donkey friend than first thought. Besides the fact that we have a high cuddle factor in common :P, both of us are also are rather stubborn and determined. Once my goal is set, I don’t stop until I’ve achieved it. Other common qualities are endurance and patience.Floris
The dog you see is not my own pet but my parents-in-law’s. Besides my long-standing relationship, he symbolizes the path I’ve taken these last few years. I met him when I was still studying music and wasn’t even thinking about a future in IT. Now I’m living my life as a junior IT consultant and he still jumps for joy when I arrive home.
