When I started Karat, little did I know that I would never leave the tatami again. I am sharing a glimpse of my deepest passion & explain how being a Karateka is tightly connected to what I do - both within and outside BCG.
It is hard to compete against professional athletes & maintain a business career. It is hard to push boundaries on 2 demanding fronts. Yet this is also what keeps me going. People often say that one cannot have the best of both worlds: but what if it was still worth trying?

Consulting 101 with BCG

There are many myths out there about case studies and case study interviews at consulting firms. But what is a case study really? How do you approach it and how do you solve one, specifically at BCG? Is it true that case studies are basically a tough business problem with some math challenges thrown into the mix? And why do you actually need to do a case study as part of the interview process?

Case studies can seem like a difficult challenge to overcome, especially to students who have not come across them during their studies yet, that is why we decided to sit you down with two experts who will break down what a case study is and discuss how to approach them best.
