Four young students of a private business-school want to start a career as consultants. "Grow or Go" accompanies them on their way through the extremely selective application process and their first steps as young professionals.
Despite much younger than other graduates these so-called "high potentials" know a lot about discipline, ambition and the extraordinary requirements they have to meet. Those who finally get a job at one of the leading consultant companies, have a lot to gain, such as salaries of € 60.000, a car, a mobile phone etc.
Thomas and Diana are a couple and they signed their contracts already before graduating - but at two competing companies. Steffi and Marc-Phillip must prove not only their professional skills, but also "personal effectiveness" before.
And there's one thing they all have to learn: "grow or go" is more than just a slogan, but the only way to survive and succeed. They have to constantly optimize themselves and their performance, because "the client is the hero" and in times of globalization growth is more important, than social responsibility.
