I am a first-gen young professional hoping to land an offer at an MBB, but I have minimal personal connections. At the moment, I am gravitating towards BCG due to their culture but am still considering all three.

I naturally work-hard and genuinely enjoy learning. If it’s not too much to ask for, I’d love to get a referral and am completely willing to to hop on a call to meet.

Thank you.

OP. This is a tough sell. You're probably all these things and more, but referrals work differently for MBB and require more than a phone call.

It is synonymous to me asking you- I have a good job, i make good money, but my credit history is relatively new. Would you be willing to cosign my loan/mortgage? happy to set a call up before I send you the link.

Probably try LinkedIn. Make a connection or find an existing connection and go from there. Good luck.

Wishing you the best!

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.
