Working on scheduling final round interviews with 2 of MBB and got the options for early Dec and early Jan. Would there be a difference in success rate if scheduling interview right before the holiday season vs after the new year? Curious to know thoughts in terms of recent surging hiring needs/headcounts and other external factors. TIA!

Do it before holidays for your own piece of mind going into the holidays. I dont think timing matters.

Thanks!

you're really trying to game the system by time of year you interview? The bar doesn't move around based on the time of year on a whim. You either make it or you don't. Take whichever works for you. I'm inclined to agree with EY1 and do it sooner and have the time to relax over holidays

Appreciate your input!
