Alvarez & Marsal Context: Just submitted apps for T2 firms but interview selections don’t come out until mid September for my school.

Question: Would it help to network right now even tho I have already submitted apps? Or is there no point?

Why not network right now to see which firm you feel might be the best fit?! People are a huge part of enjoying your consulting experience, so you want to join a company and team you click with 😊

You should still network. You don’t know when the resume screen is and it would still be a factor in any processes you’re asked to participate in.

100% network. Chances are you dont truly understand the types of consulting work you may be doing at these firms so it would be in your favor to improve your understanding now so you sound more polished in interviews. It helped me a lot in crafting my story when interviewing versus relying on… buzzwords?

Agree with Analyst 1. Networking will also help you decide which firm to choose if you get multiple offers. You will get to know more about the culture and who you click with through conversations with professionals at the firm.

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter?

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
