Hi! I have been invited to two mixers events coming up with two of the MBB firms. How should I approach these events and how can I best present myself?

Hey Anonymous!
I have written this earlier, and my advice might be counterintuitive, but - please:
Do NOT plan on doing anything special! Networking events at each of the MBB firms are formats for the firm to market itself. It is MUCH LESS the time for you to market yourself. In the moment that you are eligible to participate in such a workshop, the firm has already tagged you as an interesting candidate, and there is very limited headroom for you to "wow" anyone during the event.
So just be relaxed, observe, and ask yourself what are the 2 or 3 things you really want to find out about the Firm and its employees. That's it. Don't try to impress at such a workshop. The time to impress will be the interviews!
Cheers, Sidi

Best!
