Hi all, I am a senior looking to get into consulting. I’m studying Accounting and FinTech and with a very respectable GPA and have had 2 internships at B4 audit and F100 strategy. I know it is a little late for some full time roles, so any advice on companies or roles that would fit me would be appreciated.

Honestly, right now, look at any company that is hiring! Attend as many networking events as you can. I might try the referrals bowl as well.

I think you have a lot of the things that can get you a job. Maybe one piece of advice I can give you is to brush up on your soft skills like public speaking and critical thinking. Keep networking and don't get desperate.

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.
