Happy Friday Fish! Please DM me if you’re looking to make a switch to BCG and want a referral.

Finally have data after the past 6 months - over half of my referrals got interviews. 20% offers. This is much higher than applying on your own.

I’m more than happy to help:
- Connect you to friends who’ve come in as experienced hires from various consulting firms (big 4, S&, ATK, etc.)
- Hop on a call to discuss resume /behavioral prep / the firm
- Share tips for the new BCG interview format

And do you have any other tips and recommendations for someone just starting out in this career path?

Thank you in advance!
