For each MBB, what's the grad school sponsorship policy for junior who join as experienced hires? Are you still eligible and if so, how long until you can be sponsored (and is thus measured up to enrolment or application time?). Thanks!

Any idea if that's two years before application or before matriculation?

In general yes for junior laterals, but you have to 1) join in at pre-MBA level 2) stay minimum ~2 years before applying

You may not be offered this as a senior associate at BCG but if you join as a fresh associate then you’ll be subject to the regular sponsorship policy

Any input since then regarding sponsorship for senior associates?

A friend is considering deferring an offer (stem PhD) for 1 year straight out of undergrad to work in NY, either in a research institution or a biotech.
