<p><strong>I've been reflecting recently on my life and my work.</strong></p>
<p><br>
It started 2 months ago at my Columbia Business School reunion. Reunions do that - make you evaluate if you are where you thought you would be - and where you want to be.<br>
<br>
The reflection has been good for me, and it's also made me realize - I'm. Really. Happy.<br>
<br>
Management Consulted is a lifestyle company. We work insanely hard (in fact, this is the hardest I've ever worked anywhere, including Bain), but also make room for work/life balance. We allow our team to work from anywhere and take company off-sites to fun
places like Iceland. I spend every Wednesday with my kids and bring them on occasional business trips. I live on a 180-acre ranch in Northern California and my commute to the office is 12 minutes.</p>

<p>With that kind of life, it's hard to be a hater. As a team, we've built what we wanted - and because of that, we have a smaller team that has longer tenure and gets more done than any other company in our industry.<br>
<br>
In this period of reflection, I realized that while we are super privileged in so many ways, we're not <em>just</em> lucky.<br>
<br>
We've built what we wanted, together, by trading some seasons of insanity for others where we recalibrate and try something again.<br>
<br>
Here's an example:<br>
<br>
My first son was born in the middle of peak interview season. Management Consulted was a lot smaller then and we only had 3 coaches, so our other coaches covered me for a 4-day maternity leave and then I went right back to doing 1:1 coaching sessions with clients.<br>
<br>
You know what? It was super hard. I remember pretty much nothing of my son's first 3 months. But I was still really living a dream.<br>
<br>
Having been a consultant, I had the power to build a life that allowed me to work from a home office. I had a nanny, took breaks to breastfeed while she cooked and cleaned, and charged right on. And I did all this after leaving a startup - at 8 months pregnant
- that was running me ragged. I had options - good ones. And consulting gave me that.<br>
<br>
When I went to Bain I had no idea that - 7 years later - I would be reaping these kinds of benefits.<br>
<br>
<strong>Work/life balance - and by extension, career balance - is not about being home at the dinner table by 5:30pm every night. It's about recognizing that you give up balance in some seasons to gain more down the road.</strong><br>
<br>
Consulting is one of those seasons where you give up balance in the short-term to gain much more in the long-term. If it wasn't for my time in consulting - building the skills and learning that balance - I wouldn't run Management Consulted, live on a ranch
in NorCal, or be involved in any of the other 25 things I'm working on (only a slight exaggeration).<br>
<br>
If I had known in my 20s what I know now about the skills consulting would give me to build a life I love, I would have prioritized my goal of becoming a consultant. To be honest, <strong>I was winging it, and hoping for the best</strong>. I listened to good
mentors, but I should have made it my number. one. thing.<br>
<br>
This month, I'm on maternity leave again - this time, for the third time, and this time, for a few months. But by choice - because I really, really love what I do - I'll be at MIT on Friday June 28 leading our only summer consulting bootcamp in the Northeast.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, come and join me as we walk through:</p>
<p>· Networking into consulting from an academic background</p>
<p>· Tricky behavioral questions you’ll be asked in every interview</p>
<p>· A full Round 1 case</p>
<p>· What separates Level 1 from Level 2 candidates</p>
