Hi! I know that a lot of the Expert coaches on this site answer questions (your answers are more than welcome!) but I'm also looking to hear about experiences from fellow candidates.
All variables (your experience, who your coach was, etc.) aside, have you found your investment to be worthwhile? Particularly if you do not have a business/math background?
I have read a lot about expert coaching, but in all honesty financials are quite tight at the moment (student visa limiting my working hours). However, obviously a job in consulting would help with that ;)
So I guess I'd just like any input from fellow candidates about how the investment was worth it for you, the advantages/time savers over working with fellow candidates (as a student near the end of my degree, time is also a commodity I'm short on at the moment).
Thanks in advance and good luck to you all!
Great response, I have been thinking along these same lines...especially considering the salary of the very first year in a firm I would quickly recoup the investment. Congrats on the BCG offer!! Which country are you in? BCG is my goal, do you have any tips?
I am in the US. My advice would be to do Bridge2BCG (if you can), and to network. Talk to as many people as you can in the firm/office you want and build rapport with them. This will not only get people vouching for you, but it will also make you feel more comfortable going into your interviews, knowing you feel like you fit in/already have a sense of community. Good luck!
