For University Recruiting, do you think it's helpful to write on my resume selective programs that I attended (like BCG Advance, PwC Women's Consulting Experience..etc) when applying to consulting firms? For example, would it be beneficial if I write in my resume that I attended BCG Advance when submitting an application for Bain?

Yes. I will ask you to talk about it during the interview. It does lead to you getting an interview over some comparable candidate that does not have any of these listed.

What is the average amount of time to fill a role? How long in advance should a recruiter start working with a hiring manager to get their position posted? I think it depends on the industry but curious to hear if there is a national average and if that number is even realistic given the increased number of roles in the market. Also curious to know what average numbers some of you are seeing in your companies.
