it should be quite easy to get a job in consulting with his background.

Don't even try to complain about my grammar and spelling mistakes!

I agree, good shot and should get the 1st interview after which it's up to him.

He'll be up against other germans from more prestigious unis, who speak a 3rd language and have more than one internship at BB M/B/B, but the 2 degrees and politics experience makes him kind of a unique candidate.

It's not uncommon for Germans to start at McK after graduation at 29.
