It depends. Based on what I've heard...

The bar to recruit full-time directly out of an MBA program is higher than for an MBA summer internship role

The experienced hire / off-cycle recruiting bar is often lower than the internship / new grad bar

For both UG and MBA, yes.

The main hurdle isn’t the bar in the interview (should be the same across summer vs FT), but getting the FT interview. Most of the incoming FT class is populated with returning interns.

FT interviews are to fill remaining needs, get talent that for whatever reason didn’t apply for the summer role, or, in extraordinary times like this past year, cover for a rapidly growing business.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

I’m trying to get a good idea on whether or not to leave my current firm. I have 10 YOE in the military (similar field) and departed active duty last year. I was offered 95k to start where I’ve been for the past year, but have already been offered much more for an industry position. I’ve done the PMP and CSM thing, am getting my TS/SCI now, and am about halfway through my MPA. Is it fair to tell my company I would only stay for at least $127k? Or am I just a complete noob?
