With the first episode of The Final Round Podcast, we sit down with Bruce Smolen, a Talent Acquisition Senior Specialist at the Boston Consulting Group (or BCG for short). He has recruited for the BCG Los Angeles office for over 15 years. During that time he has reviewed thousands of applications and helped recruit hundreds of consultants into BCG offices all over North America.  For those of you who are not familiar with BCG, it is a global management consulting firm with $8.5 billion in revenue. BCG is part of the Big 3 strategy consulting firms which also includes Bain & Company and McKinsey & Company. ⁣ ⁣ This is an insightful conversation whether you are searching for general career advice, are new to consulting, or have prepared case interviews and have an upcoming final round interview in consulting. ⁣ ⁣ Review Bruce’s Highlight Quotes: https://www.careercoachingcompany.com/podcast ⁣ Read Bruce’s Children’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Bruce-Smolen/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ABruce+Smolen ⁣ Get 1-on-1 Career Coaching: https://www.careercoachingcompany.com/ ⁣ Follow our Host, AJ Eckstein, on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-aj-eckstein/
