Start by connecting with people you know that are in your preferred industry (LinkedIn is the hotspot for most). Ask them about their jobs, how they got started, tips, etc.

I’m learning that employees of certain companies are less likely to provide referrals without really knowing the applicant/their work (which makes sense). If you start by reaching out to people you know it may make getting an eventual referral easier.

What is the obsession and appeal for MBB among MBA grads? Is it really that amazing - from afar it seems like it may be romanticized (maybe not the right word) among applicants. I know it’s way better than the work I do now, so I’m not knocking MBB at all. It’s super impressive. Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere
