Love this! This is going to be helpful for so many people!
thanks so much kchoi!
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!
It was definitely helpful. Especially, the last point that how you became more self-confident due to BCG.
Thank You Both.
Hey man, I just came across your channel and I'm absolutely loving every bit of your content!
Keep it up! 👍🏽🍻
Really great video - Sarah shared some good insights!
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. 🔥
This was really helpful! Thank you sm 😊
Absolutely loved this interview!
Thoughtful and precise deconstruction of the day to day in consulting. Great questions.
Love your interview, so helpful. Thanks a lot from Vietnam 💞
This was a great interview! Very infomative
Hi Ben, hope you are doing well. Have been waiting for this video
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.
Really appreciate to know her definition of success. Inspired me a lot!!! Thanks
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...."
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.
bcg was my dream company back in college haha glad you applied!
Great interview! Really insightful and interesting path.
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.
And finally it is here
great interview, thank you
thank you very much for all the insight Sarah and Ben :) really great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really good questions.. and some of answers were really different too
Great video! Keep up the good work ;)
Super helpful, the best consulting career decomposition I ever watched. Keep up the good work, subscribed your channel with zero hesitation.
Glad it was helpful!
Great interview, thanks Ben and Sarah!
no prob!
Thanks again for the wonderful interview ☺️
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
What a helpful video! Haas undergrad as well and this really gave me a deeper perspective into management consulting. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much - this was really helpful
You're very welcome!
I can tell Sarah is really smart. I appreciate all shared informations.
she's one of the smartest people i know!
I'm really excited to apply to consulting jobs. This was very inspiring, thank you!
Insightful 📈
Excellent interview.
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.
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
Yess would be grateful for this video
This is cool Rareliquid I hope you keep making videos about the hierarchy positions available for individuals pursuing business degrees you do great job explaining in depth. Keep up the great work 😇
More to come!
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.
thank you Ben for this super helpful video! could you get someone in the financial consulting / wealth management field in for an interview?
great video!! more of this content! I'm a fan from the Philippines. kudos
More to come!
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.
Hello. Can you tell me a bit details of how to apply for Temp employee position?
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?
Awesome Content man!
Appreciate it!
can you make a video on asset management, that would be very helpfull
First step to going at any top tier consulting or investment bank, graduate from ivy league school. Then its just preparation.
Everything is secondary, the only thing which I realized is you need to get into top B schools to get into consulting
Super useful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Can you do a video on excel and ppt shortcuts and tips for IB?
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.
Awesome interview. Well done.
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!
Am 32 and have a masters in computer science. Any suggestions as to how to break into management consulting?
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?
internship for sure. make it a top priority
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.
I'm pursuing CPA designation. wondering if CPA designation will be helpful to get into consulting firm?
Maybe EY or Deloitte
She really loves dinner!!
What's your salary?
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?
Case study sessions within student orgs that prepare together
What did she say she studied at Uc Berkley ? I didn't her her well.
molecular and cell biology
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?
they memorize case studies and business concepts.
She got hired directly at bcg after graduating 😐
I ship them
omg i kinda ship you two.... so cute
