Bruno had every disadvantage on paper: international student, non-target school, three internships that didn't add up to one clear story.

He didn't let it hold him back, landing a full-time offer at BCG.

In this episode of Recruiting Reality Check, Katie – MC's Black Belt Advisor – breaks down what got Bruno there. Spoiler: it wasn't more cases. It was a plan he stuck to even when it felt too "boring" to work.

Turns out, unsexy habits get results.

We cover:

Why stacking cases with peers doesn't fix a weak strategy
How Bruno turned a shared home country into 3 real referrals
The unsexy habit Katie tells every candidate to copy
