Which summer internship would be most attractive to MBB for FT recruiting - LEK, EYP or tech?
Currently a first year MBA at a target school. I did not land a summer internship with MBB (messed up during case interview) and want to try again in the fall. I’m optimistic about my chances with LEK and EYP for the summer but now also considering tech strategy roles. PreMBA experience was in boutique, niche consulting.

My advice as a school recruiting leader would be to take whatever you like the most and will secure you a FT offer with them.
Re-recruiting with another offer secured is way easier. At least in my case, we won’t care about which of those option you took.

Feel free to DM telling me which school are you rn and which office you’re targeting :)

For MBB, best bet would be to try do something with a Marakon, or OCC. LEK and EYP are DD heavy. Also for tech strategy look at Altman Solon -> they pay at MBB levels and are supposedly top for TMT strategy

Go with the place you’d be willing to go FT with just in case MBB doesn’t work out FT.

I’d do LEK or tech if I were in your shoes. If tech was a really enticing role at a strong company I’d personally want to try that out. But I think LEK has some strong work outside DD that is very relevant. EYP doesn’t get me to excited tbh

^this, you won’t have strong 401k matches at EY and there’s risk of brand dilution. also restrictions on stock trading due to audit conflicts.

On the other side though EYP will probably have more PTO and family packages than LEK
