There are points in between “hiring freeze” and “hiring like crazy”.

This is entirely anecdotal but about a month ago BCG said I would hear final feedback a day or two later. It’s been a month and they are delaying this feedback every week. Sounds like a waitlist or hiring freeze situation.

Just got invited to interview for one of the firms today—they said target start dates are for January-March timeline. Very anecdotal, but things appear to still be moving.

Associate level! I applied back in early August and just heard back finally. I’m guessing that lag had a lot more to do with undergrad cycles going on at the time than anything. Not super familiar with how the experienced hiring is structured, but that’s how it’s going for me! I’d say just apply whenever you’re ready to apply—I’d have a hard time believing they’d throw apps out just because they applied at the ~wrong~ time. I’m sure there’s a queue. They would miss out on tons of great applicants if they just tossed out apps they weren’t ready to look at.

You likely missed the window.

MBB just finished recruiting for the year. We have summer hires from school + experienced hires year round. Now, at least BCG has a full bench right now too.

Perhaps you will see hiring pick up for next year.

Need some Advice.. I’m a professional MBA student that was working FT and used an PM internship to transition into the space. I stepped in for an actual PM who was on leave and was doing real work. In august they extended my internship to Nov. Yesterday, They offer me a FT APM role, but it starts July 10 and have to respond by 10/15. Internship still ends in Nov, so no employment for 7 months. I’m not too happy with the offer or the wait. What should I do? I am currently job searching.
