So it is official now – I will join Bain & Company as a Consultant in their Munich office next year. It is a great relief to know that my job search is over.
Why did I chose to go into consulting? Mainly for two reasons – lifelong learning and continuous challenge. No other job I found offered a steeper learning curve and a more demanding environment. In that sense, Bain will be the continuation of my MBA program here at INSEAD.
In addition, the network I will join at Bain is phenomenal – its alumni base includes leaders as diverse as Kevin Rollins, CEO of Dell, and Meg Whitman, CEO of eBay, to Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity, and Mitt Romney, Governor of Massachusetts.

Congratulations! Bain is a great company and consulting is a very good (albeit classical) choice after b-school. I have friends who are Bain alumni and their careers are promising. I wish you all the same!

[...] Though busy with their studies and recruiting concerns, many student bloggers also have a fitting amount of gratitude in their attitudes. With the release of term one grades at IESE, for instance, Ashwyn is glad to simply have survived. Also in the getting by category, Russian student Genie is having some trouble adapting to life in London, but finds some bright patches in acting class and birthday festivities. Even meeting facilities can also be cause for thanks, as Allen shares some shots of his favorite study spots in Barcelona. Also in the grateful category, several student are celebrating job search success this week; though returning to risk management was not the Dirty Canuck’s original plan, she’s excited about having a more balanced lifestyle in Chicago now that recruiting is over. Meanwhile, classmate Wakechick has been traveling to NYC for interviews and is enjoying her New York explorations, and Auris is set to start at Bain once he finishes with INSEAD. Though he hasn’t gotten his career plans quite as settled, Chicago student Le Voyageur is happy to be thinking more clearly about the future, which includes a term on exchange in Tel Aviv. [...]
