The firm gave her a challenge, though, and asked her to design the internship in less than a week.<\/p>\n<p>So Megan quickly connected with Darden classmates and faculty, friends and family, did thorough corporate research, and leveraged her experience as a [solidcore] client to pitch several summer project ideas to the company\u2019s Head of Marketing and CEO. The firm\u2019s leadership accepted Meagan\u2019s internship proposal, the Batten Institute approved Megan and [solidcore]\u2019s BVIP application, and Megan launched into a summer opportunity that she felt truly \u201cfilled her up\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have been able to do half of the things that I wanted to do in a different internship,\u201d Megan says. \u201cI became so much better of a professional and someone that people wanted to hire and am thankful for the experience. I was able to stretch myself and learn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One aspect of her internship search that Megan did have to compromise on was location. Though she was initially recruiting for a consulting role in the Boston area, the [solidcore] headquarters is in Washington, DC. Because she prioritized working in an industry and in a function that she felt passionate about, it was a compromise Megan was more than willing to take.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA good barometer in your internship search is whether or not you\u2019re actually excited about a role,\u201d says Megan. \u201cOr are you just applying because you feel like you need to?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After she graduates next May, Megan will join Bain and Company\u2019s Boston office as a consultant. She feels confident that consulting will help her learn the skills and gain the insights necessary for success in the health and wellness space. When Megan called the CMO at [solidcore] to let him know that she had accepted a different offer, he said that Megan could come back at any time \u2013 and that he would be happy to report to her.<\/p>\n<p><em>Interested in a BVIP role?
