Bain & Company As a young undergraduate from a tier 1 college, how do I break into in the strategy consulting arms of big 4 or MBB. I am keen to work in the front end office rather than the capability centers. Experienced colleagues it would great if you could share an insight about this.

Remove this tier 1 and all, these tiers only help in campus placements. Once you are out of your college, it simply never matters. Only your skillset matters.

Yes, I have the relevant skillset and projects. How do I start leveraging on them? How do I actually network and break into any of the above mentioned firms?

ask someone for referral

Thanks for the insight!
