1st yr analyst, from top 4 undergrad. If I wanted an interview with MBB... Is the best way getting a referral? I dont know anyone at MBB besides 1st/2nd yr analysts. What is the best way to “network”?

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first.

Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

Hey all, started my role as a recruiter at an agency recently and had my first placement!
