Hi everyone
I applied on December 2022 at McKinsey and BCG for a position in the Zurich office in Switzerland. Despite a referral and a good profile, I was not invited to the first round.
Currently, I would like to apply to Bain, however, I am not sure if it is the right time. I hear that bain has a hiring freeze in the US and this will spill over into Europe. On the other hand, I also hear that bain often uses such situations to find people who would potentially rather go to McKinsey and BCG.
1. Should I apply to Bain Zurich now and “lose” my chance for the next 1.5 years or wait until the mid/end of '23 and hope for a better situation?
2. Does someone have insights what the hiring situation looks like for Strategy& in Zurich?
Thank you very much in advance.
