How does the summer internship recruiting outcome look this year? I’m at M7 and recruited for IB but didn’t receive an offer. Transitioning into IB was the primary reason I decided to do an MBA, and since it’s impossible to recruit for full-time IB without a summer internship, I’m feeling really stuck. It feels like the entire MBA experience depends on whether you have an internship lined up.

When going into an MBA you absolutely need to have not just your plan A, but plan B and C as well. I saw too many people in your position gunning just for 1 thing and not getting it.

If you don't have that, start thinking about it today.

It's not over till its over. I know someone at an M7 who got Evercore (non-New York) even after striking out during full-time. You can still make consulting work too.

Agreed with the commentary above. It's not over until it's over. Fortune changes fast and unexpectedly. There's always another chance.

On the opposite end, there's a Japanese saying: being 99% there is the halfway mark. There are plenty of people who scored "top internships" but didn't get return offers.

Does MBB ever let people specialize in Life Sciences right off the bat at the post-MBA Consultant level or do you always have to start out as a generalist?

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.
