>If you get into McKinsey/Bain/Boston...
Fun fact: If you are a college dropout and apply to these places, they will at best politely rebuff you. However, if they need you, and you run your own consultancy, they have no problems being your customer in in order to get a job done. How you handle the awkward inevitable conversation at lunch about your lack of degree is up to you, though personally I always try to have fun with it.
- acchow 14y agoHow do you get them to contract out to your consultancy?
- breckenedge 14y agoSame as always: have something they need. I've worked for a top-three consulting firm (only because they bought the consulting firm I worked for at the time). Surprise: their expertise is Excel and PowerPoint (mostly PowerPoint). These are not the ideal tools for all projects. Much better to just buy what you need when you need it (and mark it up 400%).
