Enjoy the summer. You may not have a chance to for a while. The consulting clubs' timelines are geared to get folks with 0 consulting experience ready once the semester starts. If you really want to go above and beyond, maybe reach out to 2nd year Sloan students and recent grads who intern(ed) at Bain, but I really wouldn't sweat it so soon.

Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?
