How easy was recruiting for you?
It's been a year since I went through the process and I'm starting to realize that not everyone's recruiting process was even remotely the same. Some people had multiple BB/EB interviews based off just cold apps alone, and learned technicals the week of the interview eventually landing them the offer. While others I know either had to sweat for 4 months straight with 100s of chats or just completely struck out and are doing big4/micro boutique now. This was at a solid target school which would have been unbelievable to me going in. I thought it'd be a simple resume drop through the touted OCR everyone talks about and that there's ample opportunities for everyone, but guess not. It's just crazy to hear how different people's recruiting journey can be even at a solid target school.
Would love to hear everyone else's experiences.

Relatively straightforward, my father knew one of the senior MDs so I was invited in, the head of the team thought I was a good chap so I was offered an internship there and then.
wow you overcame such great difficulty. the hardships you faced!
I came from a low semi/non-target, only sent probably 100 emails, our alumni are generally responsive. Have 4 or so interviews on-cycle but didn't place until off-cycle. Failure in interviews I would say was 50% on me not being prepared for the first 1 or 2, while the west is just "sh*t happens."
non-target with very few alumni. 200+ chats, grinded technicals for 3ish months. At a BB now and happy how it turned out. There were a few kids at my school who had similar recruiting journeys but didn’t land any offers.
