How to Break Into Management Consulting! (Tips From a BCG Consultant)

[@ohedd]

Another role that consultancy fills that she didn't mention at 29:00 mark is that C suite hire consultants to say the things the C suite wants to hear as a way to give it legitimacy before employees, shareholders etc, or to have someone to shift blame to in case it's an unpopular decision - the good ol "I didn't wanna do this, but the consultants strongly recommend...."

[@bykchoi]

Love this! This is going to be helpful for so many people!

[@rareliquidcareers]

thanks so much kchoi!

[@feyonprajapati8493]

Hey, since the two of you create videos about consulting can you please also share a video about marketing consulting. That would be so helpful thank you!

[@mukhammadumarfozilov4290]

It was definitely helpful. Especially, the last point that how you became more self-confident due to BCG. Thank You Both.

[@ivanporsche2572]

I just applied for BCG’s Bridge To Consulting event. Only reason I’m considering consulting is because you brought it up, Ben. I have no idea how you manage to pump out all this high quality content.

[@rareliquidcareers]

bcg was my dream company back in college haha glad you applied!

[@jatinpawar8523]

This is super informative and so candid. Thank you for making this and hat off Sarah for being so candid and honest. More power to both of you and thank you so much once again. 🔥

[@janjungwirth2060]

I can tell Sarah is really smart. I appreciate all shared informations.

[@rareliquidcareers]

she's one of the smartest people i know!

[@yigao1782]

Super helpful, the best consulting career decomposition I ever watched. Keep up the good work, subscribed your channel with zero hesitation.

[@rareliquidcareers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@johnjinsookim]

Ben! If you think that showing your subscribers a different view on breaking into BCG as a lateral rather than straight out of undergrad, would be happy to contribute to your channel.

[@jasleengulati5562]

Hi John, I have been trying to get into consultancy, I am currently in VMware working as a Sr. Finance Analyst. So it would be a lateral shift for me too. Would be grateful to you to let me pick your brain, please let me know!! thank you

[@valtee4272]

Yess would be grateful for this video

[@chihuahuavideos1710]

I work at BCG as a GRC Corporate Consultant, and luckily they let me work remotely. I can say BCG is a good company, with decent benefits, and salary. I didn't have a hard time getting hired, however I was a Temp employee and then went fulltime. I have heard that going through a temp agency is much easier to get your foot in the door, than trying a direct hire.

[@mukhammadumarfozilov4290]

Hello. Can you tell me a bit details of how to apply for Temp employee position?

[@aliciacantaro]

Hi! Could you please explain how did you first started as a temp employee? How did you manage to go to BCG through a temp agency?

[@vim7996]

Hi, I know "BCG" is one of the best company in the world to work for. I never knew getting job is so difficult. Best wishes to all BCG'S family.

[@ivearies4187]

Thanks for this interview. It was informative and helpful. I have relevant experience in healthcare and have a non-business master degree. Interested in becoming a consultant but my age and education may not make it.

[@kazzityangel]

I found this was really helpful and informative. Great video and very well put together....you asked the right questions and addressed a lot of my concerns about getting into consulting. Now, I just have to put in the work because I'm not coming from an Ivy league school with first class grades.

[@kristinyang4968]

Really appreciate to know her definition of success. Inspired me a lot!!! Thanks

[@dexsundry]

Thoughtful and precise deconstruction of the day to day in consulting. Great questions.

[@oliviawyles2383]

Absolutely loved this interview!

[@rameshrangisetti2675]

And finally it is here

[@rameshrangisetti2675]

Hi Ben, hope you are doing well. Have been waiting for this video

[@lonhua7551]

Viewer from New Zealand here! Stumbled across your channel and have really enjoyed these sorts of videos, providing a lot of insight and real-world stories of being in the field of 'x'. I've just started (kinda) in my consulting journey, working in Biotech and while joining MBB is far from a reality (for now), it's nice to know there is hope for those which did not study in particular subject areas directly relevant for consulting.

[@CubingEncoded]

What a helpful video! Haas undergrad as well and this really gave me a deeper perspective into management consulting. Keep up the great work!

[@yatharthsaxena175]

Hey man, I just came across your channel and I'm absolutely loving every bit of your content! Keep it up! 👍🏽🍻

First step to going at any top tier consulting or investment bank, graduate from ivy league school. Then its just preparation.

[@FlowerPow-tz1cn]

If she got her degree in Micro bio how did she get her knowledge in finance models ect. Is there an apprenticeship in business and marketing to gain that info?

[@hkhkhkhkhk]

Case study sessions within student orgs that prepare together

[@thily]

thank you Ben for this super helpful video! could you get someone in the financial consulting / wealth management field in for an interview?

[@shokiyapratik]

Insightful 📈

[@HarshitaVivekTalks]

Great video. Ex-BCG consultant here, and could related to many points you've shared in the video. Very informative. Keep up the good work. I an a fellow content creator as well, and created a video sharing my thoughts on what it takes to Get into Management Consulting. Open to collaborate as well for any common future topics in this theme. Keep up the good work!

[@vim7996]

If it's so difficult to get job in BCG how difficult it will for someone to get job offer from all 3 MBB's, in USA after MBA from USA. I understand acceptance level is below 1% in MBB's in USA.

[@zachredick4646]

As someone who is about to graduate college, would you recommend trying to land an internship with these type of companies first or pursuing an entry level position first?

[@devinhohtx]

internship for sure. make it a top priority

[@princesorlo6366]

sarah is pretty n obviously has the brains matching u haa, suits u hahaa.. p.s. studies i had degree first in biomedical science, then law, mba, banking compliance n aml for years now.

[@aaronc.2715]

Awesome interview. Well done.

[@usanow3079]

Am 32 and have a masters in computer science. Any suggestions as to how to break into management consulting?

[@richardbradley1598]

How can anyone with zero business experience ie they've never started a business themselves give advice? From what experience base are they calling on?

[@hoppinghobbit9797]

they memorize case studies and business concepts.

[@Anas-gt8uo]

can you make a video on asset management, that would be very helpfull

[@siennahope6100]

I'm pursuing CPA designation. wondering if CPA designation will be helpful to get into consulting firm?
