I'm a Canadian MBA student and have been applying to MBB. My class is focused on case interview prep but is unable to secure interviews. We were encouraged to network via LinkedIn, but MBBer's hardly have time to check their unread messages. Even if you get a response, how much influence would they have on recruitment? Case interview prep seems to be wasted effort because of this.
To the MBBer's here: What methods did you use to get a foot in the door? What are your recommendations?

Does anyone know if MBB (Toronto) is hiring a lot these days?

Currently working at big 4 (manager) with no case interview experience/ no mba … thinking it would at least take me 2-3 months to prep and network. Would trying to get in by Jan be too late?

Also, my spouse is thinking of potentially moving to the states next year. Do you know if US MBB helps new hire with their H1B visa? (Understand it may be difficult but want to check if it’s worth trying)
