Is it to late to apply to MGMT consulting jobs, especially at MBB? Help a rising senior. + any networking advice?
Hello lads, rising senior who is doing their first ever finance internship right now. Not that I hate it, but I've been recommended to try at management consulting as it may be a much better fit. I have good qualifications, 3.8 from a target. The only problem is I realize it might be far too late in the process to even consider it at the MBB firma and others. I have never networked for this position. I am ready to prepare for case interviews and everything I just don't know if without networking I would even make it that far.
I really don’t know how to network, so if anyone has advice I would really appreciate it! Thanks
It’s not too late. Timeline would be to apply in the fall once you get back to school. If you have a 3.8 from a target, you’re fine in the sense that you should get a look — then it’s up to you to do well in the interviews.
I only ask because my school advisor was saying that it was imperative to “network” and attend information sessions before applying to get a interview… and the McK app is due in a week. I can’t seem to find any information sessions so idk how I would even network tbh. Thanks for the reassurance
If you are not 80% ready for the interviews then I would submit by the McKinsey fall deadline - there are less spots for FT but I think you might get dinged if you apply first round cold or fail the interviews without doing quite a bit of case prep. Same for BCG/Bain.
Unfortunately there is only the one. I will try and submit anyway
are you sure? I just saw a post on LinkedIn, one round of apps due in July, another in September
