Consulting and grad school at the same time

I'm currently in a part time grad program and have been working full time. Recently, the project I was working on ended so I'm just a student now. I'm thinking about applying to consulting roles since that was my goal for after grad school. Would most firms be open to me working as a student or should I wait until I graduate to apply?

Are you going in person for school? Is it during the week or the weekend?

The hard part is finding a firm with good wlb to be able to go to school (if classes are during the week). If class starts at 6 but the client needs you working til 8 every night then the firm will want you working.

If you’re on a chill project with good hours then it’s possible to do both at the same time.
