MBB Summer Internship in GER: Too late to apply?

Hi Anonymous,

Your time-line is rather tight, but managable if you can invest a significant portion of time into your interview prep - logistically it can still work out from MBB side.

If you get rejected in Germany however, you won't be able to apply in another country since it's a centralized system.

Hope that helps!

Hello!

To your questions:

1. Yes, there is no downside. If recruiting is closed already they will let you know, and this won´t count as a "ban" like if you had been rejected.
2. Application is global, so you cannot think this like "Plan A Ger" and "Plan B Holland". Prioritize them in a list and apply to the 1st option -the only thing could be that, if for that particular office recruiting period is over, you jump to #2 in the list-.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Hi!

In theory you can apply anytime in the German office, and you can also start your internship anytime. However, in terms of logistics it might be tight. If you want to start in June, you will have to interview by mid May at the latest. I believe current interview days at McKinsey are quite full, so you would need to send your application as soon as possible. At the same time you should start to prepare. Having about 2 months of prep time should be enough if you can dedicate a reasonable amount of time per week (5-10 hours).

Hi, if your goal is MBB I recommend applying. Interview process can last up to 3 months and you have the time to prepare it and postpone the intake date. About the location it depends on you, I think it is more a matter of personal life choice, since either NL DE and ME offices are great as well.

Best,
