UCI MBA international student with extensive experience in IT consulting, looking for some advise about approaching consulting Recruiting for full time. What should be my plan of actions, my approach, and the time frames I should look out for.

If there are some back up options I should consider, please feel free to advise.

If you mean you’re a 2nd year and recruiting for FT roles, you’ve probably missed most of the structured processes at the larger firms, if they even had any. I think a lot of places limited their intake to just returning interns. You’ll need to find one-off roles at smaller places most likely. Lean on your bschool’s career services if available, and network heavily. I’d probably also be looking at any other role willing to sponsor, and try moving back into consulting later on down the line if you’re still interested.
