Ladder Careers truly transformed my job search experience. The guidance I received from industry mentors was invaluable, helping me secure an internship in management consulting, despite having a background in a separate industry.
 
The team took a hands-on approach, helping me expand my network, ace my technical and behavioral interviews, and navigate the competitive finance recruitment process. This program was a game-changer.

Our Story

Stephen Turban
Harvard College '17, ex-McKinsey

When I was a sophomore, I was totally lost career-wise. I was at Harvard and I’d heard about consulting and finance, but I’d gone to a public high school in Missouri and didn’t know anyone who’d actually broken in.

​

I got lucky. An upperclassman who interned at McKinsey took interest in me. He showed me how to case prep and walked me through what recruiters looked for. Another mentor introduced me to a McKinsey partner who got on a call with me. That partner then referred me in.

​

That’s how I got into McKinsey - luck and a few mentors.

​

If I were to do it again, I wouldn’t leave it up to luck. That’s why we created the Ladder Careers program to make sure you get the guidance you need early on.

 

We know what it takes to get these jobs - because we’ve done it ourselves.

We only accept students who have what it takes to break into the most competitive firms.

Each applicant is interviewed and highly vetted with only a 10% acceptance rate.

For Spring 2025, we are only working with 5 more students.
