Hey guys,
I really need help. I graduated from my bachelor and decided to do a one year master at HEC Paris without any gap year, hence I don't have any work experience (only a 3 months internship in marketing). This year I discovered management consulting a bit too late and missed many of the deadlines for internships positions. My enrollment form says that I will be enrolled in university until January 2025, but many firms (such as OC&C for example) told me that I have to be enrolled in a university for the whole duration of the internship. Is it the case for all the consulting firms or could I still apply as an intern in September for an off-cycle? Should I ask to my university if it's possible to extend my student status instead?
Because I am afraid it would be very hard to be considered directly for a full-time without an internship.
Good afternoon Pedro, I wanted to thank you so much for the response. I never thought about applying for full-time because I have been told that I need at least a couple of internships and that interviews for full-time are much more difficult. Do you agree? Do you think that it's more difficult to be considered for full-time at Big 4s or MBBS without any experience?
Yes, it's harder to get the interview but... there's nothing you can do about it now. The only thing you can do is to apply everywhere and take the best job you can
