The past 2 months is totally “Mck”, and I am so happy that last night I can finally get the chance to leave the office after 11:00 pm like a real consultant:) Thanks to the good lifestyle in my team and nicest treat from my bosses, I feel shamed that except for yesterday, I’ve never left the office later than 7:00 pm everyday:( Unbelievable, right? But the experience in Mck absolutely changes a lot of my bias towards it. And when days come by, I am expecting the offer more and more eagerly.

The people here are nice. Before coming here, I heard they were tough, aggressive and picky. Yes, they are tough, because they require the best work, but at the same time of being demanding, they can be quite nice too. Though I am a small intern here and a little bit shy, I can still smile to everyone saying “Hi” and expect their warm response. Hehe, I bet they cannot imagine a smile, a simple “hi”, a handshake or just several-words chatting can mean so much to a school girl 
The atmosphere here is comfortable. My team is not a typical one, and more seems like an academic research, but what I learn from it is the same to push me forward. It is definitely lucky for me to join in such a team.
    My little boss makes it a really valuable experience for me. Besides technical skills he teaches me in the work, he also tells me how to take a step back to look at the project as a whole, how to avoid waste of time, how to leverage up-level colleagues, how be active in discussion and how to do make impressive argument, etc. Especially, he encourages me to be more confident both in work and life. I am stupid to always give puzzled or confused expression, hehe, and will try to remember what strong points I have and improve myself to be more proactive, take ownership, keep the big picture in mind and build the network actively.
    Though there is no direct discussion with the EM, I am quite grateful by his sincere guidance today. He spent more than 1 hour to share his opinion about career path and experience with me, and teach me how to face case interview! He is an experienced interviewer, insightful with amazing amazing problem solving skills. Traffic, Juice, there are much more, and I’d better polish my logic and prepare for the critical interviews in future.
The life here is colorful. Friday lunch, though it is hard for me to join in conversations, it is good to see them laughing and talking; Friday home, though I am not brave enough to enjoy it either. I can overhear the interesting topics, etc. Aha, it is weird that I am only an outsider of these activities but still like them:p Maybe that is because a hope to participate in them in the future? The other way to truly touch this fun is to be in the Scholar Program. Here, with 19 scholars from Pku, Tsinghua and Rmu, we made games, learnt in the workshop, had video conference with Taipei scholars…I am so proud that our team won the final progress review section and got a cute IPod Shuffle each one. Thinking of the time we meet excitedly in Gsm little basement, I believe it is our team dynamics impresses the “management” most! Thank the excellent faculty and beautiful recruitment jj, I am looking forward to the reunion after summer ~

 

 

Envy those summer interns who can go to SH office this summer. It is said that there is a one-floor-pantry there ~ Food must be great ^_^ Good luck to everyone!
