Based on the most helpful WSO content, the consulting industry, including MBB (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) and Tier 2 firms, experienced significant disruptions due to COVID-19, affecting start dates and recruitment processes. For instance:
Given these precedents, it's plausible that start dates in 2024 could be affected if firms continue to navigate uncertainties or operational adjustments stemming from the pandemic or its economic aftermath. The size of the cohort in Q4 2024 could potentially be smaller or similar adjustments might be made as firms assess their needs and the ongoing impact of the pandemic on their operations.
However, specific details about the size of the cohort in Q4 2024 or exact adjustments to start dates would depend on the evolving situation and decisions made by individual firms. It's advisable to stay in close communication with your contacts at the consulting firms for the most current information.
