I have a guess as to who this is :)

Just for other candidate's reference, my advice is the following: Network!

Networking has a 2 birds 1 stone effect. Not only are you maximing your chances of getting an interview (by aiming to get a referral or get put in touch with HR), but during these calls/chats you can get an idea of which offices are hiring and when.

Lots of moving pieces to this as hiring situations change monthly. So, the best way is to just send those LinkedIn messages, pick up the phone, and get talking to people in those offices.

Good luck :)

P.S. For reference,For NYC/Bay Area/Boston specifically I am currently coaching candidates who are interviewing at BCG NYC + Boston and Deloitte NYC

Hey there,

when in doubt you can always use the LinkedIn Jobs option. Most firms (including MBB and Big 4) post their positions on LinkedIn. So you'll see something like "Consultant, Boston Area, McKinsey".

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I am quite sure that every consulting firm is hiring in this period of the year. Looking for some posts on linkedn or website could be a good idea but sometimes recruiting is still active even if you don't find anything. 

Best,

Hey there,

Considering it is the start of the 2021 recruiting season, every firm should be recruiting now.

Easiest is to check their websites and call HR if you have specific questions.

Cheers,

Hello!

Depends on your position. 

For instance, for MBA candidates, this closed already in January. 

Hope it helps!

Pretty much all firms. The business model is based on constant hiring and the COVID dent is behind us.

Hi there, 

Every consulting firm is hiring now. My advice is to network, check positions on Linkedin or reach out to people working in MBB / Big4, you can also check on Glassdoor/ Fishbowl/Quora / Reddit

Cheers,
