Hey guys,

I have been lurking on here for a while, and this is my first post.

I have two internship offers this fall ( couldn't find anything spectacular). There both at BB in PWM. I really can't decide which one would be more beneficial or rewarding, and was hoping to get some input.

The first internship would be me working under management. The financial advisers essentially would be our clients. I was told I would be putting on events, and would help scheduling conferences. I am not 100% sure what this would entail.

The second internship would be working with a team of financial advisers, helping with powerpoints, some excel work, and word. No cold calling. The prospects would essentially be our clients.

The mock interviews simulated the pressure of real interviews, and my mentors gave pointers on issues that my friends and industry contacts never picked up on.

Consulting case interviews are a make-or-break proposition - they're your one chance to impress recruiters and land the consulting job of your dreams. Don't leave your whole career to chance!

Why Blue Chip Career?

Connecting with a mentor will give you the resources you need to ensure you're truly prepared for your case interviews. You'll also get detailed, candid consulting career advice from true industry insiders.

I got in touch with Blue Chip Career after exhausting the resources available through my personal network and MBA career center. The mentors were tough and critical during the interviews, but were thoughtful with their feedback and helped me refine my technicals, as well as my personal pitch and 'why banking' story. The mock interviews I had with Blue Chip Career were the most helpful piece of prep work I did - they simulated the rigor and pressure of real banking interviews and offered actionable steps to improve. And I felt that the practice led directly to my getting two offers.

- Pete (Kellogg second-year MBA student)

If you're interested in developing a relationship with a mentor, consultation packages are the way to go. A package enables you to purchase several hours of career consultations at once, ensuring that you can easily connect with a mentor whenever you need advice or guidance.

The time you buy in a package never expires, so you can hang on to it for as long as you'd like - some Blue Chip Career mentees gradually draw down their package time over the course of a few years.

Already Have a Strong Network?

You may believe you already have great resources from your alumni base and friends that work in the industry, but how many of them are in senior positions in the exact firm and group you want to join? If you're serious about landing a top consulting job, you owe it to yourself to prepare as thoroughly as possible and make the best connections available.

You should always be trying to strengthen your network. If you ask anyone in the industry, almost all will point to networking as the most important skill to land a job and get promoted. Blue Chip Career complements your existing network to give you a significant competitive edge. Where else can you find senior executives with the exact career you would like to emulate, ready to speak with you 1-on-1?

David shed light on opportunities that I was not aware of, as well as gave me critical advice on how to tailor my approach to recruiters and firms. The most helpful part of the consultation was that he provided me with great ideas for firms to apply to, as well as strategies and techniques for approaching them that I didn't know about. I wish I had found Blue Chip Career earlier, as I've been seeking advice from recruiters for weeks, yet I was never satisfied.

Even if you have a strong alumni network on tap, getting a personal mentor is still worth the investment. This year alone, for example, we've matched dozens of Wharton students with personalized mentors that have given them specific job-search tips and helped prepare them for the rigors of the interview process.

My mock interview with David was amazingly helpful, as it was the most challenging practice I've had yet. David gave constructive feedback, shared his experience, and conveyed a lot of insight in addition to interviewing skills. Thanks for arranging the interview on such a short notice and I'll definitely recommend your team to my colleagues at school.

Will this Really Help You?

Blue Chip Career's primary goal is helping job seekers. The experienced MBB consultants in our network are on call to perform case or behavioral mock interviews with you - and we unconditionally guarantee that they will be as realistic as possible.

We'll give you a full, no-questions-asked refund if your mentor doesn't improve your job search (or if you are unsatisfied for any other reason).

Case Study: Interview Prep. Alan, a master's student at Berkeley, had received interviews for Bain & BCG and wanted to create a customized interview-prep package to refine his case interviewing skills, as well as gather firm-specific insight. We arranged a series of six mock interviews for him, split between Bain and BCG mentors. Here's what he had to say:

Each mock provided the opportunity to simulate real interviews with former consultants who know how to walk through a case. The mentors offered new insights into how to approach cases and emphasized minor details that can make or break your interview. I was able to incorporate their advice and received final rounds at BCG and Bain before accepting a job with BCG.

Case Study: Career Transition. Jessica, a mid-career professional with a background in corporate development and strategy, connected with several PE veterans to get insight on opportunities to make the transition to private equity. Here is what she had to say:

Before I signed up, I found the trickiest thing about making a transition into private equity was finding the opportunities right for me. My mentors provided me with in-depth market insight and developed my plan for building a 'networked job search' in private equity. They also highlighted the fact that there are other routes that an older candidate might have to try to successfully break in. I finished with a clear strategy, multiple alternative routes, as well as some tricks to get an interview. .

Case Study: Recent Grad. John, a first-year investment-banking analyst, was exploring new opportunities on the buy-side when he contacted Blue Chip Career. Here's what he had to say:

As an analyst at an investment bank, it was difficult to evaluate positions outside of large-cap private equity. Through my conversation and interview prep with a buy-side investment professional, I gained knowledge of not only how to screen buy-side opportunities but also how to position my sell-side experience to future employers.

I found the insider info from the mentors, as well as the simulated interview prep, to be a key differentiator in not just making a successful transition, but selecting the right firm. I'm happy to report that I accepted my dream job at a top VC fund.

We've spent years building a network of professionals from top consulting firms and Wall Street banks. We can pair you with a mentor with the exact experience you want - someone who can ensure that you're prepared as fully as possible for your interview or job search.

Our mentor network is both large and diverse. In addition to having the top firms strongly represented (e.g. 12 mentors with McKinsey experience and 10 with BCG experience), we have a range of mentors with very interesting career tracks, including:

  • Mentors who broke into consulting from non-targets

  • Mentors that switched from consulting to banking or vice-versa

  • Mentors with JDs, Ph.Ds, and even a Rhodes Scholar

  • Mentors who moved to the U.S. after college and found top jobs as international citizens

  • Mentors who have been promoted to an executive-level position without an MBA

The diversity of the Blue Chip Career network means you can find a mentor who is exactly the right fit for you.

Every mentor is genuinely excited to share his or her wisdom with job seekers. The professionals in the mentor network are all incredibly accomplished. Now, they're looking to give back and help younger professionals any way they can.

How You Can Get Started.

Connecting with a mentor is easy. Sign up right on this page by selecting a 1-hour Mock Interview or a 1-hour Consultation. If you have any questions or want a mentor recommendation prior to purchasing, feel free to email [email protected].

After you complete a payment, you will be contacted within 24 hours with a questionnaire on your background and job search goals. We'll provide you with several mentor recommendations, or you can select a mentor on your own. You get to decide who you want to connect with. After you choose your mentor, we will immediately introduce you. Your mentoring session will be scheduled according to your convenience and can be conducted over Skype or the phone.

For anyone looking to break into the finance industry, I would recommend that you go with Blue Chip Career because you will interact with mentors who actually worked on Wall Street. Prior to my consultation, I had used other services that were helpful, but none of them are up to the level of BCC in terms of resume and cover letter reviews, market insight, constructive feedback, and interview prep, as well as with respect to prompt emails from contacts working for the company. After working with BCC, I realized how clueless I was in terms of effectively marketing and differentiating myself from prospective applicants to Wall Street firms. I am now better equipped to approach investment banking firms of interest and have more success now reaching out to those firms.

My experience with BCC's service has been invaluable. I signed up for a mock interview and Rob exceeded my expectations. He was not just extremely knowledgeable about the interview process for the company and field I was going into, but what really impressed me was that he also genuinely cared about me succeeding in my interview. Throughout my consultation with him, he constantly gave me critical feedback as to where my strengths and weaknesses were. Rob gave me the confidence and knowledge necessary to succeed in my interview, and I won't hesitate to contact BCC again for future career and mentoring services.

- Annie L. (entry-level financial analyst, purchased consultation and mock interview)

speech bubble stem graphic

As a trader with six years of experience, I thought I knew the industry pretty well. Therefore, I was amazed at how much new information I received from Richard about hiring trends within the industry. What was most valuable was that he provided me with firms that were actively hiring and worked with me to create a strategy on how to approach these firms.

- Eric G. (Chicago Booth MBA student, purchased two consultations)

speech bubble stem graphic

The service at BCC is exceptional, and Ozgur was a great help. Ozgur gave me great advice that approached the entire recruiting process differently and more targeted towards results. Ozgur carefully went over my entire resume to make sure I was emphasizing the strongest and most relevant qualities, and this was after several people had already helped me out with it. A lot of the advice during the interview portion ended up resonating quite nicely with the interviews I had over the next several months; I got several offers!

- Justin L. (college senior, purchased consultation and mock interview)

speech bubble stem graphic

I want to express my great gratitude for the time David Choe spent with me helping on my resume and prep for investment banking. His constructive criticism and sincere advice based on his industry and interview experience was by far the best I ever received. I had a biased impression on career coaching as a money-making business, but as consulted, I felt David truly cared about helping me.

- Brian K. (college junior, purchased a consultation and a mock interview)

speech bubble stem graphic

I didn't realize until my consultation that I had been improperly marketing my experience and skills. Rob carefully went through all the elements of my resume to make sure that I was presenting and emphasizing the right qualities that recruiters seek. I thought I had a good resume going into my consultation, but Rob really helped me take my resume to the next level.
