Got the rejection from insight. But the email says. "We remain quite impressed by your application and wish to extend to you an invitation to interview for the Associate role by taking part in our interview process later this summer. If you wish to accept this invitation, please be sure to submit an application between June 1 and July 14. Since you already have a profile in our system, this should be a quick process!" Not sure if it means I receive a full-time interview invitation.

 

thanks everyone!! :) it was for the NY office -- i think slowturtle is right that it makes sense for the offices with program dates coming up very soon to hear back sooner.

 

Hi all,

I've used WSO 2-3 years back when i was transitioning from PhD to Consulting, and I'm cautiously proud to say/think that I started the tradition of annual compilation of PhD recruiting posts :) - could be wrong but this is my understanding.

I'm now at Trinity Partners which specializes in life sciences consulting, and it's been a great experience thus far. We're offering a 3-day summer program for PhDs and thought you guys might be interested: http://jobs.jobvite.com/trinitypartners/job/oEpJ9fwF

Best of luck to you all, Sue

Rejected from Insight April 9th, no word from other two yet.

Me Today: *That's complete b.s. that pymetrics can predict anything meaningfu... "99% consulting fit" ... *ahem, pymetrics is a valid and useful tool for predicting fit of individuals for careers

 

Congrats to everyone who got Bridge and AIC! Rejected by Bridge but got fast-tracked first round interview invitation! Rejected by Insight :p Just got done with Bain Advantage interview (Atlanta); thought it went okay but quite unexpected - they didn't ask me any fit questions that I prepared...no leadership experience, or how I convinced someone, no nothing. Mostly I was trying to convince them why I wanted to do consulting (and not startup or biotech firms or life science consulting firms) and why Bain. Probed me very hard on that, and I had to emphasize more than one time that I want to learn business and this is the best way to do it lol. So not sure if it went well, but we will see.
