Hello, I'm stuck on a few market sizing questions and would really appreciate advice on how to structure the questions. How many truck drivers are in the US? How many airplanes are currently flying across the US?

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“I loved working with Jaden! Super encouraging and gave really good tips along the way. He gave me very practical stuff about what industry knowledge I should know about and gave me very actionable next steps on how I can succeed in my interview. I really liked how he was giving me industry knowledge and teaching me how I can apply what I learn into incorporating the different macroeconomic factors that is going on in the world right now. Very encouraging and gave me lots of confidence for what I need to do next. ”

Management Consulting Why [Industry] Review

“It was great to talk to Nimish today about not only my why for consulting but in general some useful tips in regards to my degree, future careers, positioning yourself internationally and how to build transferrable skills to target consulting. I even learned a bit about IR and how Nimish's work as a consultant at OC+C was valuable for his future career when he moved to New York. I would definitely love to talk to Nimish again in the future with my next steps but my current plan as discussed remains the same.”
