So I just got done interviewing mba candidates. Do all the firms interview the same week? Or do candidates make a decision prior to getting to interview for all of them?

Most interview within the same 10-day span. Schools typically de conflict to ensure students can take multiple interviews.

Gotcha. That’s good, but seems like a logistical nightmare

It sucks, but much more manageable once everyone drops out and goes to McKinsey

Haha makes sense.

All the consulting firms interview around the same time in January. The MBA career center makes sure there are no interview conflicts for students, and usually only 1 firm — 2 max — is interviewing on campus each day. Once interviews are complete, the consulting firms will give their offers, and MBA students have a few weeks or a specific date in February — whichever is later — to make their decision. So MBA candidates will have all their consulting offers on the table to make their decision.

What happens if I decide to take a full scope or be willing but after I join the company or project I get cold feet and decide not to? Do I just get let go or have dire consequences? I am being pushed by recruiter to get a FS but I am not sure. The backlog is huge though so maybe I throw the dice and learn a lot then leave before I need to if at that point I am not 100% in it?

Thanks

None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.
