Graduate student Argentina Guerra is paving the way for her peers as the first student from the C. T. Bauer College of Business to intern at Bain & Company, one of the Big Three management consulting firms in the world.
Bain is a global management consulting firm that advises Global 500 corporations, private equity funds and select nonprofits and startups, helping them solve industry-defining challenges in strategy, marketing, corporate finance, sustainability and more.
Bain has an acceptance rate of approximately one percent, meaning only one in 100 applicants end up with a job offer. The fact that Guerra secured this prestigious internship shows her level of commitment to herself and her future career as a consultant, Rockwell Career Center Director of Employer Engagement Raji Aiyer said.
“Argentina has such an outgoing, warm and welcoming personality,” Aiyer said. “She’s also incredibly intelligent and confident. Her professionalism is exemplary, and she balances it beautifully with her enthusiasm for life.”
As an associate consultant intern at Bain, Guerra works on projects that involve helping companies make decisions on executive-level investments. In her role, she is responsible for gathering data, studying the industry and understanding the bigger picture that will contribute to their consulting goals.
