I am about to start my second and final year of b-school. I have heard that consulting firms start and finish hiring soon-to-be MBA's exceptionally early. Does that mean I should be applying starting in July? August? What does the timeline generally look like? Does it matter if its an MBB firm or a smaller firm or are they all similar??
Thank you!
Hi!
If you're in an MBA program, always start by asking your Careers Centre. They usually compile already lots of useful info so you don't need to build it all yourself from scratch. Then try to fill in the gaps on your own based on what specific firms and roles you're interested in.
Good luck!

From my knowledge, info sessions for MBA candidates and undergraduate always start at beginning of fall semester, in my school, typically the second week of the fall semester. Application deadlines always are around october. I think application deadlines are always subjested to regions and schools (if OCI applis). I will encourage you to check the recruiting website of the firms you would like to apply frequently (once two weeks) to make sure not missing deadline or opening.
For FT recruiting it is usually around August/Sept for MBA's . See more information in the link below:
