This summer, I was fortunate enough to intern at Bain & Company, one of the top consulting firms worldwide. Specifically, I worked as an Associate Consultant Intern who was staffed with the Healthcare Private Equity team. I came into the summer looking to learn more about the world of consulting and business as a whole, especially since I do not come from a business background. Not only was this goal accomplished, but I also learned that I have a true passion for consulting. I felt invigorated by the way in which the core questions of the diligence were directly connected to the work that every person on the team- from the interns to the partners- was involved in. I also really enjoyed the fast-paced nature of the job and the fast learning curve it brings; I felt myself tangibly improving in key professional development areas in an extremely short time. Finally, I felt extremely at home and welcomed within Bain itself. The culture was nothing short of incredible: fellow “Bainies” were consistently willing to invest in my professional, genuinely valued my input, and intentionally sought out ways to make a new city feel more welcoming.
My experience was nothing short of incredible! I was fortunate enough to receive a full-time offer, and I accepted! I am so excited and genuinely grateful to begin my career at such an incredible place, and cannot wait to see what the future holds.
