A couple of weeks ago, I had posted that McKinsey had made the decision to move their recruitment timelines to more closely mimic the Investment Banking timelines. Meaning, they would start taking applications for Junior Summer internship, in the spring of Sophomore year. I mentioned that I would expect other firms to follow.
Bain just announced their 2027 Associate Consultant Internship Application Deadlines are 3/29 and 8/31! This means students MUST be prepared both with a referral & ready for the competitive interview process even earlier than before! (HINT, hopefully sophomores have already started building relationships/ networking! )
If you are feeling behind, we do have a few events coming up that could help:
First on 3/17 & 3.20 Protiviti is partnering with the BCA to do an information session and case workshop. Don’t miss this VALUABLE opportunity to get feedback on your casing skills!
Then on 3/24, we will have a “Consultant Connections” event, where we will be joined by 4 alums from different firms to discuss their consulting journeys, and answer your questions on the work, their firms and the competitive recruitment process.
These events are NOT TO BE MISSED for any FIRST OR SECOND Year interested in Consulting! !
