Starting dates

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there's a specific mention regarding BCG (Boston Consulting Group), which is one of the MBB firms (McKinsey, BCG, Bain). It was noted that BCG has pushed back start dates for incoming associates/consultants in North America by 1-4 months based on a lottery system. This information was shared in a post dated May 03, 2020. However, there was no specific mention of stipends for delayed starts in the context provided.

For McKinsey and Bain, there wasn't any direct information regarding the start dates or stipends for delayed starts in the context available. It's common for consulting firms like MBB to adjust start dates in response to external factors, such as economic conditions or global events, but specific details about stipends or exact start dates would typically be communicated directly to incoming analysts or consultants by the firms themselves.

If you're an incoming MBB analyst or consultant looking for more detailed information on start dates or stipends for delayed starts, it would be advisable to reach out directly to your firm's HR or recruitment team. They would be able to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information.
