How long is the ban in general if you get rejected from MBBs from MBA campus placements? Do you have to wait till after 2 years to reapply? And is there an age limit for application? Besides this, any other personal experience and perspective of how many times people get rejected before they actually get an offer will be much appreciated.

Get another consulting offer in strategy at a tier 2 and try again after a year of working there.

There is no set timeline / ban but it’s helpful to get experience to make you attractive.

I missed out in final rounds during MBA campus recruitment with MBB, landed elsewhere and a year later switched to BCG.

But just FYI that you will likely start at the post MBA level despite having consulting experience

I'm currently making a career pivot and have gained a significant amount of experience during my MBA but still a bit in that pivot stage.. Has anyone worked for or with any corporate VCs, VCs with some sort of business development or other support, innovation labs, incubators, or similar places that you enjoyed? I'm about to graduate from an MBA program and am looking for jobs in this space. I'd love any recommendations for places to check out! Thanks!
