Advanced Degree Candidates - speaking to PhDs, JDs, MDs, Postdocs, PharmDs, etc. - what if you could "skip the line" to a consulting role?

You can, through Bridge Programs designed specifically for ADCs! These programs offer a direct path to consulting, often ending with a guaranteed final-round interview for a full-time role - and application deadlines are coming up soon.

In this episode, you'll hear directly from leaders at Bain & Company, ClearView Healthcare Partners, Guidehouse, and L.E.K. Consulting as they share:

  • Why they love to hire Advanced Degree Candidates - and what they look for 
  • An overview of each Bridge Program so you know what to expect
  • Common (but avoidable) mistakes to steer clear of during the application and interview process

Tune in to discover how to leverage your advanced degree and accelerate your path to consulting with these top firms.
