Graduating in Fall 2021. Solid internship experience at D and a boutique consulting firm. Is it too late to try for MBB?

I was thinking of trying to lateral as I go to a non-target. Wondering if it’s worth applying now anyways.

Go for it. Your internship experience will make up for going to non target. You won’t know if you don’t try

So they raised it to 55k.. but I still feel underpaid based on the amt of work I do. I don’t know what my title or what to put on resume..
