Bain is currently hiring the biggest ever class. The macro environment means though that if it’s non traditional (non consulting, experienced hiring) I’m sure it’s slowed, given macro uncertainty.

There is one freeze leadership announces (which is rare unless you are Microsoft, Google, etc) and then there is one freeze that only leadership are told about, they don’t publicly say it

Campus hires are joining the firms and that seems to be it for a while.

LMAO I love the confidence K1. You’re literally wrong though - I actually have insight into our hiring numbers and targets. Given that, you know, I actually work here.

Any and all advice appreciated.
