Will my experience hinder my chances in getting an internship?
Hello everyone. I was accepted as a Junior transfer to Berkeley from community college and will be attending in the fall. I started college two years late, and I have full-time work experience. I worked for two years as a sales consultant for a franchisee of one of the biggest cabinet manufacturers. I then got promoted to project manager (overseeing commercial projects.) I also worked for a year as a sales consultant for a luxury car brand, performing in the top 3. As a Junior, will this hinder my ability to get a management consulting internship in the summer? Should I not talk about these experiences? Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.
I think your chances are as fair as anyone. I've seen people land consulting internships that only had experience waiting tables and doing extracurriculars. Case interviews and behaviourals are pretty meritocratic because the resources you need to be successful are available to everyone online. The tough part will be getting an interview which the Berkeley name will help with. Besides this I'd say don't limit yourself to just MBB and if you don't get anything this time around you can always apply again on the full time cycle.
