My name is Cassie Fell and I am currently a Senior Associate Consultant at Bain & Co. I graduated magna cum laude from UC Santa Barbara in 2022 with a degree in Economics & Accounting. Prior to Bain, I interned at Deloitte in Audit & Assurance, which was the typical professional pipeline for UCSB accounting students. While in undergrad, I was a member of 180 Degrees Consulting, a social impact consultancy. I found myself energized by my work with 180, which inspired me to apply for consulting roles for my full-time job. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Bain, as I have gotten to experience virtually every industry imaginable in only 2 years. I am passionate about helping people from other non-traditional target schools break into the dynamic and exciting world of consulting (at Bain SF, the number of UCSB alums has grown from 1 to 5 during my 2 years here!). 

I’m currently working at Zipline an autonomous drone delivery startup focused on the business unit economics and global operations. Previously, I was an Associate in Growth Equity focused on B2B SAAS and Tech-enabled business services. I started my career as an Investment Banking analyst in the Real Estate, Gaming and Lodging group at Goldman Sachs in NYC. I graduated from the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia where I studied Finance, Global Management, and Art History. I’m happy to talk to anyone about career paths in finance or all the other things I’ve considered along the way.

I am currently pursuing my MBA at Stanford. Before business school, I was a senior private equity associate at H.I.G. Capital and, prior to that, an investment banking analyst at Jefferies. I studied accounting and finance at the University of Richmond. I pursued a career in finance because I wanted challenging roles that offered significant responsibility. If you’d like to chat, we can talk school (undergrad or BSchool), industry, internships, recruiting, and / or interviews. On that last point, having made it from interviewee to interviewer, I can tell you which questions will be asked during interviews and, more importantly, how to give great answers. I’m the least intimidating person you’ll ever meet so if you're trying to decide which of us you should contact first, I'm your guy!
