(EN) Consulting as a Data Scientist at BCG - Mathilde Duverger

Avant de commencer : cet épisode est en anglais ! C'est Jasmine
au micro et j'interroge Mathilde Duverger, consultante & data
scientist au BCG depuis 1 an et demi. Pour produire cet épisode,
on a travaillé avec le BCG Gamma (l'antenne data du célèbre
cabinet de conseil BCG) et on a décidé de le produire en anglais
pour toucher plus de monde  - le premier d'une série
internationale on n'en doute pas. La suite en anglais - j'espère
que ça vous plaira. 


On Vocation in this episode, Mathilde Duverger.


After highschool, she decided to study mathematics and completed
an undergraduate degree at Imperial College in London. She soon
specialized in statistics and choosing her masters, she wanted to
completed her technical skills with a more business-oriented
training. She then completed a 2-year masters at l'Ecole
Polytechnique and HEC and worked as a data scientist at different
companies. She graduated in 2019 and had her heart set on BCG
Gamma. Why ? For the steep learning curve, the community and the
data science expertise (BCG being the first consultancy firm to
start a data science practice). 


Together we talked about :


data science : what it really is and the difference with data
engineering or data analysis ;

choosing consulting as a first job ;

working in tech and how to stay up to date ;

diversity and building a more inclusive workplace ;

what is like to work at the famous firm BCG ;

and for those interested in applying, what the interview
process is and tips to thrive from minutes 45 to 55
