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.

I had two interviews last week at good PI firms. Hopefully I will finally get out of ID for 2023. I’m so done with it. I know plaintiffs work has its own challenges but I’m so over the tedious time entries and clients cutting my time and micromanaging my every decision. Anyone else made the move out of ID, to PI or something else? How’s it going?

Has anyone had similar experience?
