Chillin’ in NYC

I’m writing this post from a hotel room in NYC where I will be having my second round interview with BCG in about 2 hours. I arrived last night and it was tought getting up this morning because jet lag is a MONSTER!!! I’m trying my best not to be nervous, but I know that these second rounds are tough and, from talking to some friends who’ve already done BCG second rounds, they are pretty challenging. Although I want to come out of this with an offer, I realize that all I can do is give my best effort and nothing more than that. If it’s meant for me to be here for the summer, then it’ll happen. It would be nice to be here in NYC for three months though because I have quite a few peoples here that i haven’t hung out with for a while and I could tear the city up if I actually have some money in my pocket to do so :-)

In other news, I JUST GOT MY FIRST JOB OFFER FOR THE SUMMER!!! I had a phone interview with Infosys last night at midnight EST with a project leader who was calling from their headquarters in India. When i woke up this morning, I had an email in my Inbox from their recruiter saying that they wanted to offer me a job for the summer. The job would require me to spend 8 weeks in Bangalore, India doing IT Strategy research for them to give them an idea of where they can add value to their clients in the future. I’ve never worked abroad before and Infosys is a great company, so i’m really excited about this opportunity. Also, it takes a lot of pressure off of me going into these second rounds with BCG and McKinsey this week knowing that I’ve got an option for the summer if they don’t work out. I don’t know if those folks in India are ready for me over there…I might just start wylin’ out and start an international incident :-)
