MBB isn’t giving out many interview invites to top MBA program students for full time recruiting right now. Why is that? I thought demand for consulting remains high during economic downturns…

Many firms just had their largest class ever just start this past summer on top of associate and consulting interns getting automatic jobs after internships on top of an unsure economy and slow case work at the moment. Wouldn't surprise me if hiring slowed down a lot considerably for the next little while

Consulting does well during periods of change.

This period is almost a clear downtrend. Need the volatility for consulting to thrive

Full time recruiting classes are almost always small. They might have been big the last few years but when I started 5 years ago I was one of 2/40 Cs in my office that were full time hires.

North America. One of our largest offices.

Maybe they just don't see the value in inexperienced MBAs and are going towards experienced lateral hires? I just got my MBB offer today, and I was at big4. Tech is frozen, but consulting is very much alive and well at the moment for hiring.

Hmmm that’s unfortunate

We’ve still hired a ton of people this cycle…

Okay that is reassuring. I hope you’re right for MBAs 😭

Virtually no full-time consulting hiring at the MBA level this year. Interns are projected to be steady however

What company?
