Always take minutes, even when not asked to. Double check your work as if everything you send out is a client deliverable. Earn your managers’ trust early on so he/she doesn’t have to always be on your case. Remember that some people are idiots and you just have to deal with them.

Don’t assume assigned coaches are doing everything they can for you, be proactive and ensure they have everything they need to be an advocate. Some coaches are great, it’s just that some don’t really care.

Also, look for mentors, even informal mentors. Offer to help them and learn from the work. People moving up need to show they have a network that wants to support them. If you find someone in that position who is climbing the ladder and you’ve built trust / rapport with them, they will return the favor and pull you up with them along the way.

Learn from great mentors/supervisors who can teach you the tactical as well coach you through the soft skills you’ll need to develop. Seek them out if they’re not nearby.

It makes a HUGE difference and will set you up foundationally for all of the above.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
