We get this question all the time: "How do I identify which firm is the right fit for me?"

Do you go the MBB route or stick with boutiques? What about the Big 4? Industry-specialist vs generalist? Big or small?

In this episode, Namaan shares a framework for how to find the right firm for you. He covers:

  • The 4 brutal mistakes you're probably making
  • How to craft a list of 6-8 target firms
  • The MC mindset for firm selection
  • 5 components for identifying target firms
  • Keys to get interview invites
