Women in STEM Round Table @ TUM | Edition 4: Consulting
Women in STEM Round Table: What it’s like to work in consulting?
What it's about and what you get out of it
For our Women in STEM Round Table at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), we have invited women role models who work in consulting – and who all studied in STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) fields. They will give you insights into the following questions:
- What's it like to work in consulting?
- What is it like to oftentimes being one of the few women or even the only woman in the room?
- What are ways to stay resilient in a male-dominated environment?
- How do I navigate a STEM career path?
- How do I combine my job with my family (relationship, caring for children or elderly)?
- What are the biggest challenges in my day-to-day work life?
- What are things I wish I had known when I was a student?
Your bonus: The role models will take time to answer your personal questions. You also get the chance to meet other STEM women at TUM over coffee and breakfast!
With the "Women in STEM Round Table" format, we want to show inspiring role models to have STEM careers being discussed live. We want to inspire, encourage and support. Get your (free) ticket here!
Who this Round Table is for
Invited are all (those who identify as) FINTA bachelor and master students as well as PhD candidates and post-docs at TUM as well as STEM-interested school girls. FINTA refers to women, intersex, non-binary, transgender and agender people.
Check out our previous Women in STEM Round Table events here!
We'll show you: You're not alone!
For a woman to decide for a STEM degree or career might sound challenging to some and it might be self-evident to others – it can definitely be rewarding! However, many women might feel as if there aren’t that many other women taking that road as the numbers of women in STEM show.
But: These women are not alone and you are not alone! You will meet inspiring women on our panel who have built successful careers with their STEM studies.
Our Role Models come from the following companies and positions
Samiddha Mukherjee Associate Manager @ Netlight Consulting
Mariana Zehender Associate @ Boston Consulting Group (BCG)
Ines Wichert Senior Analytics & Insights Consultant @ Temedica
Dr. Ariane C. Boehm Senior Consultant @ d-fine
Coaching sessions in small groups on your topics
After the panel discussion and after your questions have been answered, coaches will be available to discuss the following topics with you in small groups:
- prioritizing
- self- & time management
- dealing with conflicts
- mindset & mental health
