Applying whenever to MBB

Hi Anonymous,

concerning the application timeline, if in your target office there is no strict deadline you can theoretically apply whenever you want.

However during the year there are more favorable time periods, due to project requirements.

Recruiters will never openly tell you so, but if you apply in a period where there is no strong demand, they will hire you only if you have a superstar performance in the interview – meaning the bar will be different.

The only one that can let you know if a time period is favorable is an insider working in that office. Since it would make sense to get anyway a referral for your application, this is a piece of advice you may ask when networking (you can find more on networking here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/hey-everyonehope-all-is-well-3176)

In terms of the Fellow intern, as mentioned by Antonello it is an intern position for current students.

Best,

Francesco

Hi,

Yes, you can apply when is suitable to you, however, if you have spoken to the partner and got his reference (?), it may make sense to apply ASAP to make sure that he/she will still remember you.

Hi,

• For internships role you can only apply within a certain period, so you should better check with HR
• For any other Generalist role you can apply anytime
• For any specialist role (Practice related) the job opening is only valid for a limited time

Best!
