To me, BCG is all about having major impact and creating value in an inspiring and dynamic environment. Given BCG’s expertise, practice areas, and global reach, we’re brought in by large organizations to assist on the issues that top the agenda of senior management. To succeed with this, we need to bring the best people to the table. From day one at BCG, there is a strong focus and commitment to formal training to prepare you for the rapidly increasing responsibilities you'll get at BCG. However, our tailored approach to solving our clients' challenges makes it impossible to learn everything you need from training, and our firm's high partner-to-consultant ratio creates a critical and real opportunity for continuous on-the-job training and coaching. Our senior consultants’ willingness to spend time on developing our people is really the core of our training curriculum—and at the heart of BCG's long term success.

From the start of my career I wanted to experience all the diversity that a job in a global firm offers. When I filled in my project preferences in my first week at BCG, I ticked the box for international assignments. Now I have worked in over ten different countries and have taken the opportunity to change home office within BCG. The differences of running projects in different countries can be small, like food and attire, or much more challenging, like different languages, management styles, and business habits. To be confronted with this is a very enriching experience. Although I could remove the tick mark for international projects any moment, I will keep it for now.
