We have some awesome consulting mentors at Wall Street Mentors: //www.wallstreetoasis.com/wall-street-mentors-home

I encourage you to look at both before deciding.

Thanks, Patrick

I like how this topic popped up after I linked it earlier this week ;)

hahahah, I just use the free articles. That's more than enough.

Content on the site is golden, and they are based out of my beloved Toronto, so eventually I'll try them...

they are selective and purposefully have a small web presence; they turn down applicants who they know they wont be able to place in a consulting firm... its a different approach

I disagree actually. I mean, if you have been an MBB partner, then why doesn't anything show up when we type your name? There have to be some publications / some recognition?

In my opinion (take it for what it is worth), the stuff on their website is pretty solid. The extent to which this guy seems to be a RB homer always lead me to believe that he was a partner at RB. I could be wrong.

His descriptions of the consulting lifestyle are a bit extreme compared to what I've seen in the U.S., but in general his advice seems sound.

I agree that their website has a lot of good content, I have enjoyed reading it. My question is: how is their business even close to financially interesting for (multiple!) ex consulting partners? My impression is that they have at few dozen students a year, at about $4000 per student. So tops, this website is pulling in a little over $100k/yr, and it appears the coaches invest a lot of time in each student, and a lot of time in generating content.

I am sure this is not a full time job for any of these guys, but if you were an ex-partner, previously pulling in $500k+ per year, does this make sense? Unless they are doing it out of the goodness of their heart, it doesn't add up for me. Curious to hear what others think.
