Bain & Company What is the current state of hiring for "experienced hire" roles (1-2 yrs of professional experience) in US offices? Are there still hiring freezes / should I wait to apply to have a better chance?

Expert roles? Probably not enough YOE and frozen. Generalist roles, probably not hiring experienced folks for these with how start dates have been pushed back already.

That is not experienced hire, you would still join as a BA

BA applications open early July

You’re probably better off getting your MBA if you want to make the switch. For your profile (1-2 YOE but not in consulting), campus recruiting would be the main way in, especially right now when EH recruiting is generally frozen

Fast forward two weeks, no communication. Recruiting was surprised that I was still chasing for this position, month later. Got to know last week that hiring team was continuing to interview candidates. Should I drop the idea to get hired? EY hasn’t rejected me yet.
