Hi there,

If you have an interview lined up already and you are case ready (i.e. 90-100% good…acing your cases), I recommend you interview now.

The economy/hiring is booming and we all know that is likely to come to an end soon.

It's really hard to predict supply/demand match so we simply don't know objective odds now vs. later. It's all very office dependent as well!

Hey there,

The official message sent by recruiters is: it does not matter.

However, as confirmed by HR is was working with and my own observations even for firms that focus on soft hiring targets (as in, not a specific number per year that they are trying to hire but a rough estimate), once that estimate is reached, it will be more difficult to receive an offer.

Given that fact, it might make sense to interview earlier, if you are ready. 

All the best,

Florian

As the interview has been booked in, go ahead with it. Prepare well and give your best. Dont worry about what is happening to your friends or what others say.

if you are ready now, no harm is speaking with HR/Recruiter to assess bringing it forward.

Its impossible to predict exact market situations and demand/supply landscape. This is not in your control anyway, so dont worry about it.

All the best.

Hi,

so, I highly doubt that MBB stopped hiring. Business is booming and no end in sight. So it sounds more like rumor to me.

Thus, I would not worry about it - just do a great interview, and you will be fine.

Best,
C

Hi there, 

if you are ready and you would feel better, then advance the recruiting process, but I can confirm that is very unlikely there will be no spots for new Associate or Consultants… MBB have been growing extremally fast in the past years and most offices have very ambitious targets for new hires, hence I wouldn't worry. 

Good luck,

Lucie

Hello!

100% you DON´T need to worry here: if they are interviewing, if because they have space. This means that, if you meet or raise the bar, you will be hired. 

You are literally only fighting yourself here, none else. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers,
