I went from a Tier-2 engineering college to XLRI Jamshedpur to Boston Consulting Group and a McKinsey-affiliated engagement — via a lot of case competitions, one rejection-filled application cycle, and a lot of trial and error I wish someone had shortcut for me. I now work on digital transformation and product delivery in financial services. Happy to help you with your XLRI/B-school journey, breaking into consulting, or figuring out product and digital careers.
