Can you shed some light on MBB recruitment? You got to events, shake some hands and then what? Do you need multiple people to back your candidacy at each firm? Will they invite you to “unofficial” events if they like you? Not really sure how much effort this requires

Well this is coming from pre COVID recruiting on campus at a target so things may have changed. First started with a large presentation from the firms (usually same week) where 20+ consultants/managers would come and after a partner went through a deck, drinks after and chatting. Then had a designated consultant/former consultant turned recruiter on campus for 2-3 weeks (if not more) to have coffee chats with anyone who wanted them. Usually just answering questions about the role but would offer to put you in touch with people in specific offices you were interested in.

Also during this time you’d have your resume in the school database so the firms may invite people to closed list events based on their resume to either get them interested in consulting or to better get to know them. These invites are good but they don’t necessarily mean you get an interview (had a peer at a 10 person dinner with me not get an interview - not like he wasn’t pleasant at dinner). Also plenty of times people who don’t get invites to the closed events that do get the interview. That’s all the networking is - showing you’re an interesting person and are serious about consulting. After you get the invite it doesn’t matter how much people like you if you don’t clear the interview

Also, how frequently does networking happen over the phone/zoom? Is most networking done in-person with consultants designated to your school or can you cold reach out to other consultants and ask for a 30 min phone call?

Are aggressive non-competes show stoppers for direct admit partners at MBB & T2? I'm a partner at a small boutique firm and we have very tight non-competes. Biggest issue is a 9 month period before starting new role at competing firm. I'm being recruited by a few firms. The recruiters seem to think it's a non issue but wonder if when it gets to offer stage it becomes a show stopper when partners realize I may not be able to start for 9 months. How do your firms handle these situations?
