Hi guys! 1st year at HBS, T2 top performer consultant before (focused on financial services and due diligences) outside of the US. I was quite sick in the first semester of HBS (I had some immune issues) but now fully recovered and could not do IBD recruiting.
Questions: 1) is it still possible to recruit for this year? (e.g. at least in theory Citi has vacancies open) and 2) if not and for a total newbie like me, what's the best plan to ensure that I get a FT IBD offer next year?

We had some my year not do banking recruiting then still get IB jobs (at small boutiques and not in NYC) would focus on IB internships way harder to get FT with out and then can switch banks FT if wanted

It’s still possible to line up an internship—you’ll just be shifting from OCR to searching for the opportunities on your own. I don’t know that I’ve seen many people get a FT offer in IB without having done an internship. A lot of people in my class were able to re-recruit into consulting without having a summer but this was also during a very different hiring market. I assume the same occurred for IB but I don’t know of any cases myself.

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
