Excellent video! I'm currently a student starting my first year in Design Tripos at Cambridge. Do you think it would be possible for me to get into consulting from an architecture+civil engineering background?
Absolutely! Top management consulting firms hire based on your problem solving skills, your drive and your people skills, not based on which specific educational background you have. Architecture and civil engineering are obviously great platforms for building your problem solving muscle! You might find that they spend more active recruiting efforts toward students from finance backgrounds or industrial management engineers etc, but that is just because limited capacity is prioritized where the hit rate is the highest (i.e. where they find the biggest proportion of interested and interesting candidates). So go for it!
I love your videos, you are both great! Can you give some deep insights on how to write CV and Cover Letter?
Thank you for the suggestion. We have been getting questions about this topic and will be adding it to future content!
Great video!
Thanks, glad that you enjoyed it!
