Can start as Associate at BCG in Sept (w/ all campus hires), Oct, or Nov. Can anyone share if there’s any material pros/cons to starting in November? I personally can’t think of any other than missing PE front office recruiting.

What is this PE front office recruiting? ELI5 please.

given that on cycle PE recruiting hasn’t even happened for 2020 starts, I wouldnt consider that as a factor lol

otherwise, no huge downsides besides maybe joining your cohort in person late and all of the social friction that might incur

where you coming from?
