Dear Preplounge Community,
I am new to the prep lounge platform and I am currently looking for advice regarding the recruiting starting date of the MBB firms in 2020 and 2021. Within the wake of COVID-19, the whole recruiting process has slowed down as much as the economy did, therefore putting a grey area on a confirmed interview day. So it is very challenging to figure how much time is necessary to prepare effectively if this marathon finish line is moving with you at the same time.
It is very tempting to go for coaches, live practicing cases with peers, expansive prep lounge Coaching Plus plan, if one does know when is the "exam day" in order to invest the required amount of time, money, and energy to keep the momentum going. All of this is also time-sensitive.
I am a so-called "experienced hire" of 12+ years of experience in Energy & Sustainability, based in San Francisco, looking for interviews for the US and Europe Market. The recruiting teams often don't know how what consultant capacities will be needed for 2021, therefore they don't have a definitive answer on the interview day/week/month, which I find challenging.
Thank you for your tips and advice. I welcome any thoughts that one can share so I can understand better when to ramp up to best prepare against the next to come exponential casing curve.
Best, Olivier.

Hi Ian, Thanks much for all those very helpful resources. I guess I have quite a bit to read at this point before I have further questions!
