After four years of investment banking, I joined BCG to fast-track my development before moving to line management. Two truly unique features of BCG have kept me here.
One is the reward of making decisive contributions at crucial moments for our clients, such as introducing a fundamentally new pricing strategy for a large utility or debating with a CFO the value of a potential €20 billion merger.
The second is my ability to tailor make my career: I joined when my wife was seven months pregnant and was supported in balancing work and family life. Two years later, I chose to move to BCG in Chicago for two years.
Today, years later, it still feels like day one: plenty of options and a steep development curve.
