Bain & Company Hello! I’m a c/o 24 undergrad who wants to intern MBB next summer. I noticed there are different deadlines for each firm- ex) one in July, August, and September. Does it matter when I apply? Recruiters will say it doesn’t and to just apply when you’re ready, but I’m wondering if there’s any advantage in applying earlier (kind of like the difference between early and regular decision for college admissions). Thanks!

McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.
Does anyone know the salary of a PAS chief?

PwC A recruiter from PWC reached out to me to ask if I’d consider a different office the one I applied to, since it’s full. It would be Boston, Hartford, Chicago, Minneapolis, Little Rock, Denver, San Francisco or San Jose. MSA candidate. Is there a fully remote option? Do you have to be in the office all the time? Is the compensation high at PWC? Is there a possible moving expenses? Any insight or advice would help me make a decision. Thank you!

For Bain, nope! The first round tends to draw those with exploding offers, hence the early date. We didn’t use to have a formal process for those folks so tried to streamline more by adding that July deadline. I’d just apply when you’re ready.
We only have so many slots. Yes we keep some for each round but some extra can also go to earlier rounds if enough good candidates
Heard ppl saying there isn’t a big different but should go with the early ones if you feel ready
Echoing Bain 1. We couldn’t care less which round you apply. Only reason we have the rounds before September is because we have to follow the banks and McK/BCG
