If I apply to lateral to MBB using referrals post-MBA.. can I interview for a certain start date 2/3 months out? For example in interview in April 2022 for a July/August start date?

Yes you can unless it has changed in the past 6 weeks 😇

Nice. I’d like to give my company 6 weeks notice plus take an extra 3/4 weeks to travel.

Yes

Yes but know that lateral hiring is softening due to lower case demand right now (true for us and my friends at BCG/McK in North America)

You can’t really time it so I would just apply as soon as you’re ready

I feel ready to interview per se. But I am in a niche consulting field and feel like I need to hit the 10 month mark out of b school to reapply effectively. Which would be about April.

What happens if you apply with a referral during a slow period? Would they still interview you with a higher bar? Or hold the app until things get better?

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
