Hi everyone - I've been working at Google for 5 years in digital communications & IT transformation strategy for federal, state & local government entities. I'm interested in making a pivot into management consulting as I graduate from Northwestern University's Master's in Public Policy & Administration part-time, evening program this June. Would anyone at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Oliver Wyman, Accenture, EY, etc. based in the Chicagoland area be open to connecting?
