2 years in B4 Supply chain strategy consulting. I have some interviews lined up at MBB. Would I restart with recent campus hires?

Are there better hiring cycles than others to interview during?

Yes, with potentially an experience bump (i.e. start as a second year); no to the second question.

Thanks C1. Makes sense.

Would they rather I go get an mba now instead of joining? Would that be a reason to deny without one? Not sure of how commons mbas are there

You already have interviews lined up, so why the MBA now? They already told you you don't need one. Just get in and have your MBA paid if you want to do it (which yes is pretty common; in my experience the vast majority of PL/CTL/EM have an MBA, or some sort of higher education). Otherwise if you fail the interviews, you can obviously go do your MBA and try again.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
