Consulting firms in 2nd year are definitely going to ask you why you're making the switch. What should be the excuse/justification/whatever?
Thanks

this switch is very common as far as i know so anything among the lines of "want to travel, felt like banking wasn't for me, etc etc" would prob work don't try to win any points here (just give a simple straightforward answer)

Is MBB recruiting more competitive in 2nd year? Also, can I recruit for both consulting and IB in 1st year (summer internship)? Lets say I focus on 15 banks and MBB+Deloitte+Parthenon for SA, will that be possible?
It's certainly possible but any sane person would strongly advise against it. Both processes happen at the same time and are very heavy with networking, not to mention requiring a lot of time to prep for interviews. Doing both puts you at the risk of burning out very early and (more importantly) not doing either very well.
