When I graduated, I knew very little about consulting. During my first twelve months with BCG, I worked on various types of cases—in five different practice areas, from short two week projects to longer ones of sixteen weeks, both locally and internationally.
On each case, I had a chance to work closely with other, more senior consultants, project leaders, and partners, each of them willing to share experience and help me develop every day. Looking forward, I can see even more learning to come. This, to me, characterizes consulting pretty well. I can’t think of a better environment to develop my skills and career at this moment in my life.
