Fresher looking to venture into consulting
Hi! I'm graduating this semester and would want to get some work ex before pursuing my masters. Should I go for the BCG Training Program? It's an 18 month paid stint in their GS office. Would it increase my chances of getting placed as an associate at BCG after those 18 months? Or is working as a consultant/ analyst in a (much) smaller firm better?

Is switching careers in your 40s the new version of success?
A few months back, I found myself reflecting deeply on this question. After spending nearly two decades building teams, launching products, and shaping digital experiences, I suddenly realised that experience alone wasn’t enough anymore. The world had changed — and so had I. When I was in my 20s and 30s, success meant stability, growth, and building expertise. But in my 40s, success started to look different. It became about meaning, balance, adaptability, and impact. I began asking myself: Am I growing, or just going through the motions? That’s when I noticed something interesting — many of my peers, people with 15–20 years of experience, were also rethinking their career paths. Some were moving into leadership roles in new industries, others were starting their own ventures, and a few were taking bold sabbaticals to rediscover themselves. According to LinkedIn data, over 60% of professionals have already made significant career shifts in search of meaningful work. Yet, many organisations still struggle to create growth paths for experienced professionals ready to reinvent themselves. This isn’t just a professional trend — it’s a quiet revolution. A reminder that reinvention is not a sign of failure; it’s a sign of awareness. So, if you’re in your 40s (or heading there soon), take this as a nudge. Don’t fear the pivot. Redefine what success means to you. Because sometimes, switching lanes at 40 is not the end of a journey — it’s the start of a more authentic one. — I’m exploring new leadership roles or business opportunities where I can create real impact.
