Hi Everyone,
I am going to be joining the MiM program at Imperial from September and I want to secure a graduate job in consulting, particularly MBB.
The hiring round starts at the same time as the master's program so I may not have full management or consulting application experience at the time of applying.
I have just completed my undegrad and have a summer free. I am going for a summer school program at HEC Paris and also an internship in my home country.
I want to ask, how can I use the next 2-3 months to best prepare for the hiring rounds and maximise my chances of success?
I have an engineering degree from Uni Of Sheffield in the UK, tier 2 target for BCG, and a first class grade. I have 13 months of work experience as a data science intern at a big pharmaceutical company. So not too much business knowledge and experience..
What can i do over the summer?
- so far I am only aware of case preparation? I am starting off with getting the CaseCoach subscription and of course reading through Case In Point. I then plan to test myself in interview settings. I am curios, how does someone from a non-business background learn the concepts that are applied in the cases?
- what else do i need to prepare for and become good at?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Francesco, Thank you for this detailed answer! I will be applying for graduate opportunities in the Uk so from what I have read, there are no referrals for early career hires?
Hi there, even in case you cannot have an official referral, I would still network as you might get an “unofficial” one (consultant talking about you with HR). Good luck!
Thanks Francesco, do you have links to the best casebooks like the INSEAD one you mentioned?
Hi there, you should be able to find them just by googling, if not please feel free to PM me and I can help from there
