What does it really take to break into MBB — especially if you’re starting late?

In this conversation, ex-Bain manager and case coach Abi Chen breaks down the exact 2-month strategy that helped her go from “I just learned what consulting is” to landing a Bain offer.

She shares the principles that top candidates consistently get right — and the myths that hold everyone else back.

You’ll learn:

• How to diagnose your readiness (and what most candidates overlook)
• Why drills matter more than full cases
• How top performers think like consultants from day one
• The feedback mindset that accelerates growth in recruiting and on the job

If you need a clear, realistic roadmap to MBB — or inspiration for charting your own path — you’ll find it here.
