This is a guest post by George Tarakhovski.
In my experience, consulting has always been one of the top career choices for graduates at my alma mater (Duke). Although the work frequently involves countless hours of engineering multilayered pie charts and histograms in Excel, there are lots of things to like about the profession – great pay, stimulating assignments and lots of client interaction.
For a consulting firm that represents over $8 trillion in assets, kasina’s claim to fame is its expertise in introducing “revolutionary business ideas” to the asset management and insurance industries. kasina, which is based in New York City, is all about practical innovation through unique, trend-defying solutions that keep companies from going stale and losing profitability. Despite sporting an impressive client list, kasina does more than just help corporations stay in business. The team preaches community involvement and is actively involved in non-profit initiatives, including its own youth foundation. To maintain its “culture of learning,” kasina has its team members partake in a book club and post interesting and relevant entries on their blog. Overall, the team culture is fun, communal and non-intimidating. That’s pretty impressive (and unexpected) for a firm that pioneered solutions in hybrid wholesaling, profit-based compensation systems, and behavior-based segmentation.
So, kasina seems like a pretty cool place full of smart, interesting and well-balanced individuals. Now, how about a job? First, the bad news – there are currently no employment opportunities listed on the website. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply if you feel that the company is a perfect match. (I’ve heard of people who have landed entry level jobs there in the past.) The good news is that kasina has an opening for an internship position. Although the job description is lacking in detail, the recurring theme is that you must be someone who is “obsessed with excellence” and “is ready to think differently and make an immediate impact.” While energy and leadership skills are natural prerequisites, the ideal candidate must also be pursuing a degree from a top-tier college, demonstrate an interest in finance, and be fully proficient in Microsoft Office. Successful interns frequently transition into successful employees, so go brush up on your case studies and get your creative juices flowing.
