Currently at a T10-15 MBA and am headed to a T2 consulting firm this summer. The discussion around campus for FT recruiting has already started.

I have yet to see any posts about Mercer final interviews. They went from a Hirevue straight to final round interviews, I imagine largely due to it being so late in the internship season and they want to have things set as soon as possible. Has anyone had any experience with Mercer interviews, I...

I received deferred admissions to M7 as a senior in college and currently work at an operating company.

For an MBB consulting firm, there are two different dates I can sign up for first-round interviews. One is a week before the other. Does it matter if I choose the first or second date? Does choosing the second date badly impact me or possibly hurt my chances of getting a second round or getting an...

What do consulting background checks look like? How will they work? I put an unpaid political volunteer experience on my resume and I didn't start until after the date I put. I also exaggerated the results. Will this impact my chances? Any advice?

I have an upcoming "off-cycle" phone interview with an MBB Manager coming up in the next few days and was wondering what I should do in preparation? In the email it stated that it would be a brief chat to get to know one another as well as why consulting/why firm X. Is this common? Thanks!

Fellow monkeys, I am still unsure of which consulting interview pack to go for (Prep Pack vs Prep Pack Plus).

hi folks, I had a first round interview with an MBB firm last week. They said that they would get back to me this week so I am still waiting for that.

Recently interviewed and was struck by the interview dynamic for the first time. The structure, for simplicity's sake, was two resume interviews with the office MD's and a case interview with a VP/hiring manager.
