SBS has organised a two-day Management Consultancy Bootcamp for its incoming students in order to give them a better idea about the consultancy landscape and give them a head-start for preparing for the rigorous interviews. Today was day one. This is my take from it:
One can read zillion books, spend hours on networking and make a herculean efforts to analyze markets; even then it may not be possible to gain such insight as was packed in this one day. At end of day one, I can simply say that it was a very useful and informative session. A productive, tiring day. Will hit the bed for another long day tomorrow at Oxford followed by an Alumni event in London. I guess it is preview of the busy days ahoy!
- Got to meet quite a few of my future classmates, and had fun talking to a friendly, diverse group of bright people from all around the globe
- Got an idea about the consulting landscape and what it is like to be a consultant
- Got a much better idea about the application process, the things that consultants may be looking for in an ideal candidate and the pitfalls to avoid while writing a CV or a covering letter
