… and lawyers have this plight. You're working "with" people - but really more alongside them. You aren't on a team together - just in the same office.

Business Book Review - The E-myth

… growing a business into a multinational is more than a little bit appealing to me. The thing was, without realizing it, I figured I’d be a slave to my company until things magically clicked into place one day, allowing me to be the sharply dressed, 20 hour work week, trillionaire CEO I always dreamed of being. Looking back, working on your business, not in it, is painfully simple, but having it articulated like it was something of an epiphany.

… are vital to success as a management consultant. Here, we’ll address the first 2. 1 – Quantitative Reasoning Is All About Outcomes After attending a top firm’s on-campus presentation, you may come away thinking that consultants solve problems by simply putting on their thinking caps, grabbing an expensive latte and having a stroke of brilliance while staring intelligently off into space.

Royal Air Force Officer Nails McKinsey London Interview

… up my mind I wanted to work for McKinsey and I wanted to do everything in my power to ensure I was going to get that offer. So, the second we knew we were going to be interviewing with partners, the introduction of the second McKinsey interviewer, Michael, was absolutely brilliant. He not only answered some McKinsey specific questions I had, but at the start of interview was almost identical to the ones I had witnessed already, and then the ones I witnessed again in the final round. So that was awesome. It was almost like a perfect taper program …
