oh interesting did you intern at MBB? what did you not like?

F

I’m in UG, but interning in consulting too. My background is engineering and I hate how non-analytical strategy work is. I have yet to open excel or use VBA (which they said was a key asset they needed) ugh. Kinda wish my IB final rounds went better.

Why boutique IB?
