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.
