I’m hoping to eventually work at Google in their Business Operations and Strategy division, but most of my experience (BDM, PM, int’l ADM) is for local startups and my BA is in Biblical Literature. It seems like consulting groups like Boston Consulting Group are considered pools for hiring potential Google candidates. Does anyone know if they help pay for schooling or if there are any other companies I could work remotely at on the East Cost that would help with this trajectory?

1. Evidence that they can come through with the goods. 2. They have creativity outside of advertising represented in their portfolio. 3. Not every job on their resume lasted only 1 year long. 4.

Whether they can keep their subject-verb agreement and/or parallel listing going (j/k - I know we need an edit button on these posts).
All snark aside, I mostly look at how it all adds up on a cost-benefit level. Where will their style plug in, and is that something I need consistently? How often will I need it? Will they be working consistently (but not to the point of crunch), or will they be bench warming unless a specific client needs their work? Can they write in other languages? How well, and how often is that needed?
If there's a net gain there (which at least offsets their salary but hopefully does more than that), make an approach. If not, I keep them in my network, but I don't make any promises.
