I go to school at a top 10 MBA program. The Big4 aren't hiring on campus this Fall.
Any idea when EY/Deloitte will start hiring again for full-time Cosulting roles? If so, how can I get hired as a fresh MBA through the experienced hire path?
Dear A,
The first steps are well-known and simple: polished and representative CV, good cover letter.
Also, I would recommend you to apply with referrals to maxmize your chances.
BTW, on September, 10th I will make a webinar on Upcoming hiring season, and how candidates can crack it. You can find more information in this post https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/free-webinar-with-coach-andr-save-yourself-a-spot-7733
Best,

Honestly, it's anyone's guess. EY and especially Deloitte are in big trouble. They just grew too big and are having to cut a fair amount of existing staff, let alone worrying about hiring.
As a fresh MBA you 100% need to network!
In terms of networking tactics:
a) Reach out to people in your network
b) Reach out to people once removed from your network
c) Reach out to people with a similar backgorund to you (i.e. same alma mater, same hometown, same career switch, etc.)
d) Tailor a message to them specifically both showing interest in them and their journey and demonstrating that you have done your research and could be a valuable hire
e) Play "tag" across calls you get so that you can work your way towards the company/office/role you want
f) Leave a strong impression - i.e. don't ask "basic questions". Rather, demonstrate your ability/intelligence by asking smart questions, carrying a natural conversation, showing genuine interest, etc.
