Hi! I'm Wesley B. I learned about a career in Management Consulting 9 months before the intern recruiting season. I met with a coach/mentor (Consultant at Bain & Company), and he helped co-create a personalized plan for me. The plan was a critical backbone for my preparation and pushed me through all the barriers that came my way. The overall recruiting experience was challenging (and stressful!), but I gained appreciation for the coach I had by my side. The plan, which included retaking the ACT (a story for another day), landing a preparatory internship, networking, case prepping, etc. helped me submit my application to 6 consulting firms, earn first-round interviews from 4 firms (all three MBB firms), and land final round interviews from 2 MBB firms. Since joining Bain as an intern in 2019, I've mentored dozens of individuals through the recruiting process (from learning about the firms to nailing the final interview) and helped them land jobs at Bain, McKinsey, BCG, and other consulting firms. I always tell people that the skills learned from preparing for a career in consulting are agile and will help you in every career you pursue! I am originally from Provo, Utah. I played baseball at BYU and am the happy father to three children. My wife and I currently live in Austin, TX. I am excited to share with you the exact things that helped me get an offer!
