Hey everyone!
I'm going to graduate end of this year, and I was looking into applying for MBBs & Tier-2s early next year (I'm based in Australia).
Here is a short profile of me:
- An international student with a 70-75 WAM range. Studying a Commerce degree at one of the Go8
- I have a couple of internship experiences in my home country and in Australia
- Private Equity
- International Tax Advisory at B4
- Strategy Consulting at a T2
- Strong extra-curriculums
- Worked with think tanks and psychologists to publish a mental health policy paper
- Worked on multiple consulting projects
- Co-founded a start-up and received multiple grants from my university, and was selected into a prestigious VC Co-Founders cohort
Here are some of my questions:
- Is it still worth applying to MBB & T2s in Australia with my low grades? My main concern is that I will not be able to even pass the screening round.
- What is the cooling period for MBBs and T2s? I'm also considering applying to my home country in 2-3 years.
- If I get into MBB/T2 firms in Australia, can I negotiate to start earlier since I have already graduated?
