Should I apply this recruiting season?

1st post here! I am trying to transition in consulting at the pre-MBA level. I have been working for the past 2 years at a brand name luxury products company in manufacturing and supply chain areas.

While working I started to pursue a MS degree in manufacturing and supply chain from a top 50 university and have a 3.77 GPA. I am a part time student while working full time.

I still have 1 year left till I complete my MS degree, but want to work in consulting as soon as possible. My question to the board is will it hurt me to apply to FT positions this fall despite having 1 year left on my degree. I would plan on finishing the remaining courses while working in consulting.

Or should I wait one year and apply next recruiting as I will be finishing up my degree at that time?

 

Apply now and ask if you can defer the offers for when you finish school. If not you can always work less hours during academic year. Make sure the recruiters know what you will expect from a position in consulting.
