Hopefully not silly questions: Can current MBA students apply to experienced hire positions, or are those positions more for laterals?

If we previously applied to another office, how would it be looked upon to apply to another office this time around? Would speaking to someone in that office help our case?

(Some BCG NAMR offices are hiring.)

Thank you!

For MBB? Typically no - a lot of the hiring that’s happening right now is for Q1 start dates. Campus hiring is a distinct process. Idk if it’ll happen again but when there was a surge in hiring, they have reopened full-time hiring to 2-yr MBAs in the spring (this happened in Spring 2022 for example).

I mean can’t hurt to try if there aren’t other options, I hear it’s a pretty competitive job market out there so I wouldn’t just follow the normal rules.

At least for McK, if you just applied in Aug/Sep as a second year MBA for full time roles and were turned down, you are still in the cool off period for the Associate role. We may however consider you for an expert based role but as C1 said most of the hiring right now is for Q1 start dates.

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well.

Is there any way to change this perception or does it just come over time?
