Hi All! I'm a college student (incoming junior) currently interning at EY, but looking for an internship next summer at Mckinsey or Bain. Didnt have the best luck recruiting this past year- didn't even make it to the first round. Would love to chat/network to get some recruitment advice- really want to put my best foot forward!

He should look into deal tech. If he still likes the technology angle from m&a.

McKinsey/Bain don’t really hire sophomore interns so not surprising that you didn’t get an interview. Are you at a target school? Biggest thing is that you’re focusing on case prep right now.

I'd as learn much as you can from your current internship, network with ey parthenon/current consultants to learn about being a better consultant, and case prep as well

Hey mate,
I would suggest firstly doing well at the EY internship to get some experience and references.
Next reach out to folk on LinkedIn. Can't hurt.
Thirdly, as mentioned earlier I think your junior year is when McK etc will offer internships.

Good luck!

Should I complain to a firm's HR if the interviewers laughed at my answer during an interview? Maybe it sounded scripted but it was still heartfelt and genuine: my immigration story and how that made me appreciate the rule of law. I said it soo many times during OCI's that maybe it eventually sounded robotic, but for the interviewers to laugh and one to say sarcastically "nice elevator pitch", I thought was rude. Thoughts?
