“Economics covers the macro level and accounting covers the in-depth firm level. I wanted to find the link between these two areas. Business fills that gap: that’s why I came to LBS. I’ve always enjoyed living in a city. And as all the major firms are here, I knew London was the right place to launch my consulting career. The ease of travelling, meeting both consultants and recruiters is invaluable when it comes to getting a job. For instance, my employer, BCG, is based just around the corner from LBS. That proximity is a big advantage.”

“The School’s emphasis on putting theory into practice really won me over. The professors are great at bringing their personal experiences into the classroom. I think the practical elements you learn are more useful than theory alone in the real world: it offers context.”
