I started at a T2 firm in the US in an entry-level position earlier this month after graduating with my Masters in May. MBB has started recruiting students again for the fall. Even though I'm not a student anymore, can I apply? Will it look bad since I've only been with my firm for a few weeks? I think the longer I wait, the more it'll hurt me because I'll have to make a lateral move if I do get into MBB, but by then I may be 24 or 25. I don't want to enter and start at the entry-level position if I already have a few years of experience.
Are you saying applying and interviewing (even if I don't end up leaving my firm) would burn bridges? I'm not sure if it's risky because I'm sure some folks at MBB will know people at my firm, and I wouldn't want my firm to find out I'm applying/interviewing
Hi, thanks for the reply! Yes I assume the position would start next summer or fall, so if I receive an offer, am I supposed to continue working at my current firm knowing I'll be leaving in 10-12 months and then notify my firm closer to my MBB start date?
Yes, exactly!
