<div>THIS MESSAGE IS FOR MIT PhDs OR POSTDOCS</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font size="-1">Dear MIT PhDs and Post-docs,</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font size="-1">On behalf of the Boston Consulting Group, I
wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself to you. My
name is Mel Wolfgang, and I am a Manager with BCG in our Boston
office. I have been with BCG since 1999, and I came to the
Boston office after completing a PhD in computational hydrodynamics
from the Department of Ocean Engineering at MIT. Six years ago,
I was in a similar position to where many of you are likely to be
right now. I was finishing my dissertation, excited about the
prospect of completing a long journey, and I was contemplating several
career options. These ranged from staying in academia, starting
a business, or entering the world of management consulting to
"get my feet wet" and learn as much as possible about the
business world.</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font size="-1">Five years later, I am still at BCG, having spent
time working out of Boston, Kuala Lumpur, and London. I adore my
job. And I am energized by the prospect of bringing more
qualified PhDs, MDs and other "non-traditional" hires into
what I truly believe is a wonderful firm and into an incredibly
rewarding role in consulting. </font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font size="-1">I am sure some of you are considering consulting
quite seriously and want to know BCG better. I am equally sure
that there are others of you who are trying to understand what the job
is all about and what it is you want to do - in both the short term
and ultimately in the long term. For that reason, I am going to
be holding office hours on campus to answer whatever questions you may
have - about BCG, about my personal experiences, the consulting
profession, the transition from academia into consulting, the
transition from consulting into other careers. </font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font size="-1">If you are interested in stopping by for 15
minutes or so to talk, on Fri., Sept. 24, at a time when I will
be on campus (11am-3pm), please click on the link below to set up a
time. </font></div>

<div><font size="-1">Best of luck in the career search, and I look
forward to meeting many of you over the coming weeks and
months.</font></div>
