In this video I'm going to have a talk with Awiral who managed to get an internship at Goldman Sachs and is now a Senior Associate at the well known management consulting company Boston Consulting Group (BCG). I worked together with him for quite some time and he can give a lot of insights on getting into an Bulge bracket bank like Goldman Sachs - essentially how he got offers from bcg and from Goldman Sachs. After his internship at Goldman Sachs he successfully made the switch to MBB Consulting and is now a Senior Associate at BCG.
