My mentor helped me realize there are bound to be tough situations in my career. He told me I would be thrown into difficult projects and expected to find my way out. He also told me I would never be alone in these situations and could always ask for help.
I met Kaustubh while organizing the new hire orientation program in 2015. I realized, we had both studied economics, loved the subject and were interested in driving people initiatives at the Firm. That was the common connect. I could quickly see in him someone who inspired and understood me.

I started feeling exhausted and disappointed at the thought of not getting the chance to explore other sectors while feeling fatigued with all the travel. I decided to chat with Kaustubh about it and spoke for more than an hour. We discussed how I could get more out of the experience, what I wanted to learn and brainstormed ways in which I could better my experience. This conversation was so meaningful, I’ve held on to it ever since.

That’s the best part of McKinsey… the people you work with and learn from, who inspire you and become a part of your life. Kaustubh is a great friend and will always be my McKinsey Mentor.
