Improving Connections

What are some good ways to get connected with more people? I have a LinkedIn, but I feel like that isn't very good at expanding contacts yet. I've searched on the internet for people, but I couldn't find any people. I want to meet more people at different jobs and careers and understand what people are going through. So I would like some advice to meeting new people. Is there a way that people go through it and find the people they want to speak with? I don't know how to find people or even talk to them. P.S. If anyone has a LinkedIn, could you connect with me? #linkedin #consulting #industry-contacts

In consulting, do you have to get your own clients?

Hi I'm a first year college student and I'm considering consulting as a career or advisory such as financial planner. But I do NOT like reaching out to people and the idea of trying to get clients on my own. Is this the only way to get clients or do some firms do that for you? Thank you

How do I break into the consulting world?

I am a 23 year old from the United States finishing my Masters degree in International Business Management in France at Grenoble Ecole de Management. Although I am in a Masters program, it is still very difficult to break into the consulting world. I tried searching for mentorship programs at some of the top consulting firms, but from what I have seen, they are only offering these programs to people with diverse backgrounds, which I do not have. Any tips for improving my resume or any free online courses that you may know of would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

For those who are going into consulting (MBB) after graduation, how long should we wait before applying to business school?

2-3 years? Or is it better to get more work experience? Moreover, is it worthwhile to go to business school only if you want to pivot careers or does it help you rise within the consulting firm to earn a business school degree?
