I’m at this amazing boutique hotel right now… Bain definitely won the hotel battle! Before I share any more thoughts about the weekend, let me just show a few photos from my room:
Not only is there an LCD TV in the bathroom, but there’s another one hidden behind a painting that slides into the wall [...]

Decision time. This is a tough one. When it comes to management consulting, there’s definitely no clear winner among the “Big Three”. As I’ve met other people working through the recruiting process, I’ve encountered all sorts of decisions: people will turn down each of the firms in favor of the others with little consistency across [...]

Interviews are a week away and I’m already intimidated. I was fortunate enough to be invited for interviews at each of the top 3 consulting firms: McKinsey, BCG, and Bain (along with a few others). Which wouldn’t be so bad – I have a decent presence and can tell good leadership, influence, and teamwork stories [...]
