Full-Time Recruiting from Undergrad - Need Advice!

Hi All!

I'm a rising senior at Duke looking to recruit for PEG full-time positions.

I know I've already missed the proper timeline (and frankly don't have a target background for the industry) but would really appreciate anyone's advice on how to approach the upcoming recruitment cycle. Both in larger strategy terms, and then maybe some targeted advice with respect to networking or application targeting.

To give some added info, I'm interning with an MBB consulting firm this summer, GPA is a 3.86, and Econ Major. The project I'm staffed on is an M&A integration, so hopefully I can leverage that to gain some traction during interviews.

*and yes I'm trying to apply for IB full-time openings as well, just thought that I might as well try for a moonshot
