MBB recruiting timeline in Europe & Middle East

Curious about this as I don't really know much about the recruiting process. Friends in the US have told me the recruiting cycle for 2023 has ended, but I'm not sure if the same is true in Europe and the middle east. Appreciate any insight!

Hi there, 

It's best on these topics to connect with HR specifically for the office you are targeting. This is also an opportunity to start building a relationship with them. 

Recruiting timelines differ by geography, office, role and practice, so it's very difficult to know specifically which one applies to you. 

Best,

Cristian

Hi there,

I am coaching right now a few candidates for MBB US and I confirm what Udayan said, deadlines for undergrad are early July (with the exception of Bain which has an earlier deadline in some offices).

In Europe it depends on the office. Some locations have deadlines, some have rolling admissions. So would be probably good if you specify the locations you are targeting.

Best,
Francesco

Hi there,

That is incorrect!

I quick google search and networking would be able to tell you the truth hear.

Please don't trust word of mouth when you can literally look dates up yourself!

Could you confirm what role you're asking for? The dates will change based on your level + recruiting channel!

Hey there,

For McKinsey, most European offices and all Middle East offices recruit throughout the year. There are slight variations depending on specific roles though.

Cheers,

Hello!

This not only varies region by region, as you very well point out, but also role by role. 

Which tenure are you applying to?

Cheers,
