Hi there,

Still hiring but at a much slower pace than the last two years, i.e. it has become more competitive to get through the screening.

All the best,

Florian

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

  • To my knowledge, they are currently hiring, including for entry-level positions.
  • However, to know for certain, I would highly advise you to reach out to the recruiting team to inquire about the current recruiting policy.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your upcoming strategy consulting applications, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there, 

They are still interviewing candidates, so it makes sense to apply. 

However, make sure that your application is stellar. Get some coaching support for this in terms of developing an amazing CV and cover letter as well as securing a referral for each firm. That will put you already within the top top of the candidate pool and maximize your chances of getting past the screening. 

Best,
Cristian

Hi there,

My understanding is that there is still hiring going on. I am not sure specifically about entry level.

Remember, this is exactly what networking is for! Get out there and get talking to people. Not only can it give you intel/info but it can also get your foot in the door!
