Management Consulting Intern

May - July 2022 • Cape Town, Western Cape

What I liked

The program structure was an incredible introduction to Consulting. First, the two-week class (taught by Byron, ex-McKinsey exec who is brilliant) ran through the basics of consulting all the way from the very bottom into high-level problem-solving frameworks and excel modeling. Then, on my internship I got to work for an awesome start-up corporate wellness firm, doing a ton of strategy and market research that had a real, tangible impact on the business. Plus, Cape Town is just the coolest place ever!

What I wish was different

My only thing would be that it took us about a week or two to really mesh with our internship business and discern what it was they really needed from us: had we known earlier, we could have made an even bigger impact.

Advice

Be adventurous. Do absolutely everything that you can, because you are in one of the most stunning places in the world and every minute there is special!
