S23E23: The Unsexy Habit That Landed Him a BCG Offer
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Bruno had every disadvantage on paper: international student, non-target school, three internships that didn't add up to one clear story.
He didn't let it hold him back, landing a full-time offer at BCG.
In this episode of Recruiting Reality Check, Katie – MC's Black Belt Advisor – breaks down what got Bruno there. Spoiler: it wasn't more cases. It was a plan he stuck to even when it felt too "boring" to work.
Turns out, unsexy habits get results.
We cover:
- Why stacking cases with peers doesn't fix a weak strategy
- How Bruno turned a shared home country into 3 real referrals
- The unsexy habit Katie tells every candidate to copy
Resources:
- If you're stacking cases and still not landing offers, Black Belt fixes the approach, not just the reps
- Not sure your profile is competitive for MBB? 15 minutes with Katie will tell you where you stand
