Consulting Hiring Landscape (January 2021)

Hi,

Current 2nd year IB analyst looking to pivot to consulting/other. Have decided to leave banking after 2nd year ends.

My question: would consulting firms, particularly MBB, be hiring now and in the next few months, at a time when MBA recruiting (I assume) has already gone? 

I ask because I don't want to dive into case / consulting interview prep if there's no way any MBB would hire someone to start ideally by ~September. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks
