Hello together!

Would you say that an internship in a fintech that is valued as a unicorn (also Blackrock invested) can be seen as a relevant work experience in order to get into Oliver Wyman as an intern?

Thank you very much and Merry Christmas! :)

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the (presumable) offer!

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

  • Generally speaking, the more relevant work experience you gather during your studies, the more likely it will be that you will be invited to the interviews and the more easy your first months at your future employer might be (even if the lead is quickly diminishing).
  • Relevant work experience for strategy consulting companies is considered everything where you are exposed to an international corporate setting and/ or have a lot of opportunities for entrepreneurial drive.
  • As such, in case you have a lot of opportunities to further drive the company, I would consider it to be relevant for a strategy consulting companies in general and Oliver Wyman in particular.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best decide on your next career steps, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

There are many different valuable internships. From your description, I think this is one of them. You will learn a lot about financial services (particularly on the disruption going on), work with high caliber people in a fast paced environment.

Yes, definitively positive.

Hi there,

The short answer is yes, this experience should add to your resume in a meaningful way. It would be helpful for us to know the exact role you will have, however, given it's a unicorn/startup you should be able to volunteer and gain a good amount of experience from this.

Congrats on the offer!

Hello!

Yes, for sure that is one of the good options. However, there is not one single path to consulting (and in this case to OW), but many many. Focus on the role, responsibilities, scope, etc.

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara
