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.

I'm a rising senior looking for new-grad roles. I'm looking to go into PM long term. My current internship has an APM role that for many teams is more of a PO role, but still has the PM title and product-facing opportunities.

I also have the chance to go into MBB as a consultant. While the APM role is obviously more relevant, I'm concerned that the tech reputation and bad Product culture will make it not worth it to turn down MBB.

Hi! I'm currently trying to move into the IT field and have been getting a few interviews for smaller tech companies, but I'm interested in applying to larger names like Google. Does anyone happen to know what hiring managers or recruiters may be looking for in a cover letter? Do they really read cover letters or are they just scanned through ATS systems? Should I be trying to match keywords from the job listing or go with a more personal approach? Any advice would be appreciated!
