Is having a referral to BCG or Bain really that helpful or given the current market just applying would be the same? Trying to network with folks there but also ready to submit my application. For context I am in consulting at Big 4.

Referral helps to some extent and definitely > cold application. It’s still really competitive nonetheless. Feel free to reach out - I can review your resume and refer if a good fit for the role…
