What does it take for an international, non-target student to land a full-time offer at MBB? Giovanni Coeli joins us to share the exact playbook he used to overcome visa hurdles, stand out as a non-target candidate, and earn his offer at BCG Miami.

In this episode, Giovanni breaks down:

His intentional networking system
How he identified the right offices (and why Miami won)
