I never planned to work in the corporate world. Studying international relations, I hoped for a career in diplomacy or academia. 

Yet I became intrigued by consulting as soon as I learnt about it: work in an international environment, zero risk of stereotypes and collaboration with people from the most exotic academic disciplines sounded just right for me.

Now I’ve been with BCG for almost two years; I have worked on very real business problems in different industries across several countries, I have seen my recommendations implemented and my skills developing beyond my expectations. Add the fantastic people I work with and the extremely friendly company culture and you may begin to understand my fascination with consulting…

When I was looking for a consulting firm, I wanted to work for a firm that is involved in a wide range of industries and on the cutting edge of business.  I viewed BCG as a firm that understands an individual’s strengths and skills and provides endless opportunities for a young professional to develop expertise that can be applied to a vast array of clients.

In my first year at BCG, my experiences included improving the capabilities of an international retailer, a beverage company and a 99-year-old nonprofit. Through those fascinating cases, I was introduced to challenges that enabled me to grow and become more versatile. I saw how BCG respects each consultant and taps into our unique skills to provide the best service to our clients.
