337: From Africa to MBB (McKinsey, BCG and Bain) Europe - Management Consulting  Jobs

337: From Africa to MBB (McKinsey, BCG and Bain) Europe - Management Consulting Jobs

Listen to how this bright and talented lady joined MBB Europe, while based in Africa, despite significant odds. She had no business background whatsoever, graduated from a non target school in a developing country, had never even heard of a consulting club and was previously rejected in the 1st round with MBB (MBB = McKinsey, BCG and Bain). She also experienced excessive discrimination in her home country and we discuss this fallout.

These are the kinds of clients in which Firmsconsulting specialiazes. Those with great potential but far from an easy path moving forward. If your background is not ideal listen to this client's story to see that everything is possible if you are disciplined and follow the right guidance.

If you genuinely find our podcasts useful, we would sincerely appreciate you leaving a genuine review on iTunes. The mission of Firmsconsulting is to make the world better by arming leaders around the world with the necessary skills to solve mankind's toughest problems. The simple step of leaving a genuine iTunes review will help us greatly in pursuing our mission.

Good luck to everyone going through the case interview recruitment process.
