Did the intro call as practice for the behavioral. You have to qualify first

But it's primarily a service to help you get into MBB...

Thank BCG1. I already have a job. Looking for stuff to help me prepare before I start.

Oh. I can't speak to that, haven't investigated. Could be worthwhile. Honestly, the whole service is designed for insecure types with a lot of privilege who got into MBB and are nervous about starting

Or getting in

I used their videos - some of the best training i have had. Easily top 2 or 3 things i have done.

The consulting offer could be renamed "mba skills in the real world"

Their exec training is awesome as well...definitely 100 times better than anything the big 4 or Accenture have

Slalom1 what else have you done?

From firmsconsulting or other stuff?

Both!

I have used all of the firmsconsulting services. Tco is great. The tech strat study is a close 2nd.

I did the personal coaching but that only kicks in if you start interviewing for consulting positions.

That being said - i did interview there and found that i was incredibly well prepared for the interviews after going thru tco.

Pulled out for work /life balance reasons.

Considering re-entering the interview process

Outside of that my exec MBA was an amazing experience as was moving abroad and building a practice.

But mainly its my style of learning now. I spend a lot of time reading a mix of quant and strategy books. The strat books gove me the big picture...the quant give me the numbers to measure and test my ideas.

I get a lot of ideas from the harvard business review

Hello, I am a a23 year old who just graduated with a BA degree In Cyber Security.
