Anyone know if MBB is still hiring from tier 2’s, and how I might go about applying during non recruiting seasons? (First time applying outside of undergrad)

Going to be joining MBB as an experienced hire (2.5 YOE) and I will be taking 5 months between jobs. I have been working in consulting already so I don’t necessarily need to get up to speed with Excel and PowerPoint. How would you suggest I should spend those 5 months? Ideally I would travel for at least a couple of them. However, I am trying to figure out whether I could dedicate my time on acquiring new skills, maybe working on a side hustle or helping a friend’s startup. What’s your take?

Wrapped up my MBA last May and am thinking about giving MBB interviews another shot. Is ~6 months of consulting experience at my current company going to be viewed as a negative? Would waiting until the one year mark have any impact? Or are hiring needs strong enough that the firms won’t care

Bain & Company Just don't get the nonsense logic of MBB asking for mandatory Tier 1 MBA while hiring at senior levels. Wonder how the MBA done 10 years back would still be relevant today. Is this just to promote nepotism or their ego?
Why it's so terrifying for them to offer a fair chance to all the talent.

I was wondering if I should apply again and if I should, would someone be willing to chat and send a referral for me?
