    This is so relatable! I will be starting my journey at Bain with no idea what I want to do in life, with the current aim of 2 years at Bain and then sponsored MBA. I keep thinking that I am forcing myself by defining this plan, but it feels good that thinking of these plans is normal, and people get the courage to change the plan if they figure out their passion down the line.

    Heading to an MBB this fall:
    3:40 Although there is some seemingly arbitrary variance in the recruiting process (e.g. kids getting interviews wi MBB/Tier 2s but not Accenture/Big4, some getting offers with BCG but not McK interview, etc.) I'd really advise students (especially those from non-targets) to focus on 5-6 firms where you can see yourself working there, and network/prep hard for those select few. Perhaps from a target like Berkeley, Judy's volume approach may be more feasible, but generally firms like seeing dedicated/continuous interest
