FT recruiting post MBA - MBB

Hi all,

How do you guys see MBB US full time recruiting this year for international students that did NOT intern at the firm? Is the market recovering?

I was in the 3 superdays for internship but had a major unexpected (loss of a close relative) and couldn’t interview with the firms.

Ended up doing my internship in investing and despite getting a FT offer I realized I like consulting significantly more (I did T2 consulting post MBA), hence would appreciate any views!
