Our Mission: To help Foster MBA students learn about, prepare for, and secure high quality career opportunities in consulting
Our Vision: To establish the Foster MBA program as a premier source of consulting talent on the West Coast
Club Overview:
The Foster Consulting Society (FCS) is a student organization for Foster MBA students and, with close to 100 active members, is the largest MBA club on campus. The FCS provides student members with invaluable professional and personal development for careers in consulting and other industries such as tech and beyond. FCS has also provided employers with an engaged and talented group of students from which to recruit and hire.
The FCS offers its student members 3 distinct value propositions:
1) Education: We strive to help our members learn what consulting is, the differences between various national and local consulting organizations, and what working in consulting is like.
2) Preparation: One of our club’s most valuable resources is providing members the opportunity to prepare and practice for case interviews. Almost all consulting firms and many other organizations use case interviews as an evaluative measure of how well applicants can think about business problems. We also provide members with training in how to be a successful consultant after they land an internship or full-time job.
3) Networking: We offer events throughout the year in partnership with consulting firms giving members the chance to network with current consultants and Foster alumni. Events range from formal information sessions to informal coffee chats and cocktail hours.

Education
1) Consulting 101: These informative sessions help students understand what consulting is, the landscape of consulting, the different types of firms, and some recruiting tips.
2) 2nd-Year Panels: These panels offer students the opportunity to hear about the recruiting process and internship experiences of 2nd-year students who interned at a consulting firm over the previous summer.
3) Speakers: We bring in speakers who are either currently in senior roles at consulting firms or worked in consulting and left for other opportunities. These speakers give students the opportunity to hear about the experiences of someone who made consulting a career or used consulting to advance their careers in other industries.
4) Alumni Panels: Alumni are invited to come discuss what their everyday lives are like as consultants and what the interview process was like for them. These panels offer students the chance to have more intimate discussions with alumni in a less formal setting.
Preparation
1) Group Case Interview Prep Sessions: In these sessions, students learn how to master the case interview. Members will learn various frameworks and how to apply them to cases, how to approach market sizing problems, tips and tricks to nail case math, and how to present recommendations.
2) Small-Group Case Interview Prep Sessions: In these sessions, students are offered the opportunity to practice real case interviews in small groups with a 2nd-year who is experienced in case interviews.
3) 1-on-1 Practice Interviews: Students have the chance to participate in mock case and behavioral interviews with an experienced 2nd-year coach who offers direct and objective feedback to the interviewee.
4) Case Book: As members, students are given a case book which contains consulting firm overviews, industry overviews, a review of frameworks, and numerous practice cases with suggested solutions.
5) Other preparation opportunities: We hope to offer students chances to do mock case interviews with alumni that work at Seattle consulting firms. This will give students an invaluable experience of practicing with someone who knows what their firms expect from interviewees and can give great feedback.
6) CaseCoach
Networking
1) Spring Social: This is Foster Consulting Society’s penultimate event of the year. Typically, this event is held at the prime location of the Columbia Tower Club in Downtown Seattle.

2) Alumni Networking Event: This event offers students the chance to network with Foster alumni in consulting and gives first years a great chance to meet and network with firms, especially as recruiting for internships gets into full swing.
3) Consulting Walks: These events allow students to visit consulting firms to understand “a day in the life.” The students get a chance to see the firms’ offices and meet several current consultants along with learning more about the type of work performed by and the culture of each firm. Firms visited on past Consulting Walks include Accenture, ACME Business Consulting, Alvarez & Marsal, Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte, ECG Management Consultants, Hitachi, PwC, Slalom, and West Monroe Partners.
