I’m starting as senior associate consultant at Bain in march. Any suggestions on how to prepare for what is coming? Any books, courses or anything that consultants would think is helpful on the job?

1. Get ready to live/die power point slides. No matter how good you think you are - your going to get shredded.
2. It’s a VERY feedback heavy culture, most of its fair- so be ready for it mentally.
3. Learn to pick your battles if you have deep expertise. It’s challenging when you have say 5 YoE in x industry dealing with a certain problem - and you have a partner who has NEVER worked a day in that industry and has NEVER even thought about said problem - who is 100% convinced they know the answer.
