The #aplaceforyou event in Thun was a great opportunity to connect with consultants and participants on a very personal level. Besides learning about McKinsey’s work, we had great conversations about countless non-business-related topics in a relaxed atmosphere. The workshop gave me the courage and confidence that I needed to pursue a career at McKinsey. I can’t wait to start my internship and join the team in Zurich!
