Asking for Advice In Consulting

Hello all,

I’m a non target co 2026 student 3.7 gpa who has a SA 2025 offer at PWC for consulting. PWC is dope woohoo but I want to recruit for full time and target MBB, T2, or honestly whatever pays higher, if it was some boutique firm that paid well I wouldn’t mind.

My question to you all is if you were in my shoes how would you go about this next step to land at a MBB/top tier boutique/ T2 full time offer after my SA 2025 at PWC. Any help appreciated, thank you WSO community.
