S1E19: From Military to BCG - Preston's Story
Preston Tharp shares how he leveraged 9 years in the US Navy and a full-time MBA from Olin to land at BCG - the dream job he never knew he wanted! We dive into the specific steps he took to make a sharp career pivot to break into consulting.
How many cases did he practice before landing at BCG? What would he do differently at the beginning of the case prep process if he had to start all over? We cover these questions and a whole lot more in this fascinating conversation with Preston. Contact us at team@managementconsulted.com if you need direction for how to break into consulting from a non-traditional background.
