Worried your school isn't on top consulting firms’ target lists? You’re not alone. 

In this episode, we break down exactly what it takes to land an offer from firms like McKinsey, Bain, BCG, and beyond, especially if you’re coming from a non-target school.

We also unpack how the rules of recruiting have changed post-COVID - and what that means for your strategy.
