Story from the frontlines

This is the most practical book you can read on getting ready for your career as a management consultant. Why? Because its based on real MBB experience. It will make the difference between your ability to guide your career where you want it to go, or your decision to go along with the rest of the herd.

When I started at Bain, I was an experienced hireId been out of school for about two and a half years, but to say that I was truly an experienced professional in Bain terms would be a stretch of the imagination because for a year of that I had been backpacking and volunteering around the world.

After a brief stint in a PR firm, where I worked on campaigns for US Airways and the US Olympic Committee, I had set out to travel the world for a year with my best friend. I shaved my head and lived off of cucumbers and peanut butter (super tasty, by the way, especially in the Nicaraguan jungle or on a Thai beach). It was a tremendous adventure, and in retrospect, I did some short projects that taught me about businesswhile in school, my major in Economics had been ethereal, but around the world I was seeing business practices in implemented formnot as beautiful or theoretical, but full of innovation and relationship and power.

After my year of travel, I moved to South Africa (one of my favorite destinations up to that point) on a one-way ticket and set up my own consulting practice. I worked to connect entrepreneurs living in the shack villages with social entrepreneurship programs. I was finding business projects that were happening in the impoverished areas in South Africa and connecting major corporations to them. It was really dynamic and more exciting than anything I had ever done. Looking back now, I cannot believe the confidence I had to take on what I did! I mean, I led a couple of major country-wide projects connecting entrepreneurs to a joint mentoring program funded by the Swiss and South African governments and ran national conventions I was completely fearless!

So when I decided to pursue consulting and accepted an offer from Bain, my friends and family were hardly surprised. Bain wasnt my only choiceI had also applied to McKinsey and BCG as well as other major companies like US Airwaysbut Bain was where I felt the strongest fit. Looking back now, I think I did what was an on-par job of setting myself up for success. Think about my qualificationsI had learned a lot of interpersonal skills as a volunteer overseas, and had fostered an entrepreneurial passion and a love for risk in South Africa, but most of the work I did was structured by me and for me in a very footloose and fancy-free time. For example, I had never worn anything business formal to work. And now, Bain was on my horizonand I needed more than just a new wardrobe. I needed a new mindset.
