“Bastien Advisory Group offers its interns a chance to be a significant part of large-scale consulting projects, but a similar level of executive-level interactivity would be impossible at the majority of other consultancies. Since starting the intern position at Bastien Advisory Group, led original research, developed a consulting proposal on growth opportunities, and providing perspectives to a new business venture. Additionally, Bastien Advisory Group offers unparalleled connections both in the consulting field and outside of it.”
