Synopsis
From “What is consulting?” to preparing for your first day, this is the ultimate overview of the consulting industry
Consulting is mysterious – top firms like Bain, BCG, and McKinsey are highly respected, and completing a rigorous 2-year management training program sets graduates on the fast track to becoming a future multinational CEO, leader of a major non-profit or director of a disruptive startup.
But how do consulting firms take an average student and make them into CEO material? Insider insights from the secretive industry are murky and questions abound. What do consultants really do all day long? Is consulting a good fit for your skills? How does consulting compare to other jobs? How do you get your foot in the door?
CEO-in-Training is a complete practical toolkit to give you an insider’s view into what consulting really entails: the pros, the cons, how-tos, and everything in between.
