Launched end of August / early Sep a couple years back when I went through it
Thanks!
Not trying to hijack the thread but what schools do these MFs recruit from? Thought it was only H/S/W but saw a few with no PE experience from Booth and Kellogg
I'm not too sure. But I guess they mostly recruit from those.
How does the process work? Is there specific headhunters for mba?
