Real MBB + Big Tech Resume: Bain AC to LinkedIn Strategy & Operations

This is a real resume from someone who successfully recruited into Bain & Company out of a Big 10 non-target school and subsequently landed a Strategy and Operations role at LinkedIn. It is not a template or a fabricated example. It is the exact resume used to secure these offers, formatted and structured the way MBB recruiters expect to see. Use it to understand how to frame internships and experiences with quantifiable impact, how to structure bullet points that signal analytical ability, how to present a non-linear background in a way that reads as an asset rather than a liability, and what a clean, one-page consulting resume actually looks like in practice. Whether you are preparing your application for MBB firms or targeting Big Tech strategy roles, this resource gives you a concrete, real-world benchmark to pressure test your own resume against.

Global Mobility for Real People: Careers, Visas & Passports in 2026

Borders are tightening, digital‑nomad visas are mostly marketing, and “just get an MBA abroad” is no longer a complete mobility plan. In this session we look at global mobility as part of your life and career portfolio: how degrees, skills, employers, visas and, in some cases, second citizenships fit together over the next 10 to 20 years. Drawing on current data and real cases from Europe and Asia, we will cover what is realistically available to professionals who are not billionaires, how to read countries’ migration postures, and how to choose programmes, roles and locations that keep your options open. You will leave with: - A clear framework for thinking about mobility as risk management and opportunity, not fantasy - A map of the main routes that actually move the needle for early and mid‑career professionals - Concrete questions to ask when choosing schools, employers and countries if you want real global options, not just a nicer passport stamp

How to Work With Me - Personal Read Me Guide Example

This 'How to' guide is my favorite tool to set and communicating boundaries at work while acting as a great collaborator. I wrote this note when I was Group PM at LinkedIn in their Sunnyvale (CA) HQ. I shared it with new collaborators every time I changed scope or team and started working with new partners (which happened a lot!). Many colleagues told me they really appreciated my transparent approach to collaboration and the example I set in communicating my boundaries. Some even created their own version and thanked me for it. Feel free to copy it and create your own version. Make sure to adapt it to your personal style and needs, as well as your organisation’s work culture.
