Looking to connect with Schwarzman Scholars working at MBBOW or in PE.

My background: Graduated a few years back, working in BCG back office. Have a significant amount of development sector experience, with a focus on financial inclusion and social inclusion.

TIA!

“MMBOW” 😂😂😂 come on

I know a few consultants at BCG who were Schwarzman (you can easily check that on google tbh). I just don’t see why being a Schwarzman would help you pivot into CT. You best bet is to impress a partner/MDP on a few cases and ask them to champion for you (or just apply for it)

I agree, the challenge is I don't work on live cases but work on cases after. I was looking to take the Schwarzman route to add more prestige on my resume since I come from a non-target. An added bonus is switching geographies (SG/HK) and then applying to M7 with sponsorship.

Are you a Schwarzman Scholar yourself or what’s the deal with that?

@functional I had a similar background from an Ivy and got rejected. I’ve been told from scholars that at the beginning it was all students who had Chinese majors or backgrounds. Now they’re shifting away from that explicitly so as not to be seen as exclusively for that group and more towards a diverse Rhodes type. Don’t agree but whatevs

I really feel like I should be excused from this "diversity and inclusiveness" training stuff lmao. It's about implicit bias and I'm sorry it's just not believable coming from an old white man's mouth when there are maybe 4 non-white associates. We're having these meetings 3 times this week. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
