My BCG career started immediately after graduating from MIT, and BCG's ability to help leading clients win in the marketplace keeps me here today. These attributes have stayed hallmarks of my BCG experience, but not without the flexbility to discover my interests and shape my career on my own terms.

I later transferred to BCG in Auckland to learn consulting "down under style"—working and playing hard. Companies in Australia and New Zealand strive for business models that win locally and withstand global competition. After I completed my MBA at Harvard, I transferred to BCG in New York where I expanded my knowledge to pharmaceuticals and manufacturing strategy. I had the opportunity to help establish BCG in Houston, TX where I led our local Women's and Diversity Initiatives. There I was able to help attract more talented thinkers which contributed to a doubling of our TX presence in five years!

I'm delighted to have come full circle in my career, now leading our undergraduate recruiting efforts for the New York area. My BCG experiences have been diverse, exciting, tailored and truly exceeded my expectations. The opportunity for professional and personal growth at BCG is truly significant and unique.

Why work at BCG? That's more than one question: Do you like questioning, thinking, improvising, communicating, convincing, implementing and then finally impacting?

This is what we do, across all industries. Bringing change to a public sector telecom incumbent, due diligence in the auto industry, end to end restructuring of a bank, the principles of the job are always the same. Think, communicate and then change. Beyond everything, it is always a people's business.

If you like these, you're in the right place, so give it a shot!

Prior to joining BCG he worked in the Investment Banking divisions of Deutsche Bank and NM Rothschild, where he focused on Financial Institutions.

The breadth of experience once gets at BCG is unparalleled. In my stay at BCG I have had the opportunity to work across all the different industry practices covering close to 20 different industries, spanning several different types of functions and topics. I worked with private companies, public sector enterprises, MNCs, industry associations and foreign companies. And this experience involved active project work across over 10 different countries, besides travel to 15 other countries related to work. The best part is that one has a high degree of say in deciding the kind of work one wants to do, how long one wants to keep experimenting, and when one wants to start specializing.

Ravi holds a BTech degree from IIT, Delhi and an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. He has worked across a large variety of industries including automotive, financial services, technology, and industrial goods, and on a diverse set of issues ranging from market entry, profit improvement, growth, and organizational restructuring.

I remember the day, during my 2nd year of university, when one of the professors told us the mythical stories of the consulting firms: strange people that work hard—very hard—to help companies deal with unsolvable problems; people that do not have personal lives; people that travel all around every week, and so on.

Instead of being scared by those stories, I soon fell in love with them. I realized that I would do all of my best to join such a company. I read, I studied, I listened and finally, I got my reward: an offer from BCG. I couldn't ask for anything else.

Guia holds a Master's Degree cum laude in Industrial Engineering from Politecnico di Milano with international experience as an exchange student at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, AU. She developed her thesis with Osservatorio of Politecnico di Milano and the main topic is related to Web Televisions and examines innovations brought into the traditional TV landscape, competitive strategies and sustainable business models.

One of the reasons I chose BCG when I finished my MBA was because it offered a large variety of projects and had an important international component. I never imagined that the reality would so exceed my expectations.

Over these years my work has found me at a haute couture runway show in Paris, at a meeting with the Ukrainian Minister of the Economy, and listening to a tuna fisherman from Bermeo explain the differences between a thunnus thynnus and a thunnus alalunga (one is for sushi and the other is eaten in a can).

BCG has not only been work for me, it has also been a cultural experience. I've had the opportunity to undertake projects with consultants from a dozen countries, including Americans, French, and Russians, and to work in America, Europe, the ex-USSR, and Asia. Contact with all these cultures has broadened my perspective in a way that I couldn't have experienced at any other job.
