I finished my Bain interview today. It is really hard to tell the result. And considering so many talent competitors, I do not put much hope for the second round. After the interview, I went to running in Al Buehler Trail at Duke Forest. It is a nice place, especially for running when having fever. Things did not go well these days. Mostly my reasons. I run as a way to get out of life and keep self energetic. It works somehow. I am more positive during/after running and feel much better about all the challenges I am facing. Fight! Be a fighting dreamer!
This year, the job market is horrible. Damn! US consulting firms shrink the hiring plan dramatically. Yep, I can see from the number of people who got closed list. The number is much smaller than first year summer internship number, which is ridiculous. I do want to get a job in a top consulting firm in US. But after today, I blowed away my only hope Bain. BCG hates me, as always. McK... I can't interview with it any more, since I already had an offer from them in Asia. My mentor told me that I can do the transfer after joining McK. I deeply appreciate what he proposed and his help. And if I really can't get anything else, I should just take it. At least every other people say it.
Yes, that's the moment!!! When "every other people say it"... Is that right? Orit, Bain chairman, once said that "The biggest risk is not to take risk at all". And for my whole life, I am running away from risk. Well, finance professor will say that everybody is risk averse, but when one stay on risk averse mode too long, he just want to change. Make sense, right?
Anyway, I still have some other interviews to go -- LEK tomorrow, Deloitte on Thursday, and Microsoft later this month (hopefully). Try my best!
