Dang, I was just rejected from an LDP internship role. 😬 I'm coming from a T15. Is anyone else finding even LDP and corporate strategy internship recruiting to be rough right now?

I’m sorry to hear about the rejection! It’s definitely tough out there, even with a strong background. LDP and corporate strategy roles are super competitive right now, and it feels like the process has only gotten harder. You’re not alone, just keep pushing, the right opportunity will come. That's what I keep telling myself anyway!

Apparently IB internship recruiting is down as well.

Yes! Will agree with that. Should’ve noted that, thank you.

Hasn't LDP always been pretty competitive? FWIW, coming out of my MBA I had multiple consulting offers but was rejected by the LDP I was targeting.

SP1 - what were some of the desirable LDPs?

It feels like this year, a T2/B4 offer in a Tier 1 city is as tough as MBB in regular years

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

Or… should I take a small loan?
