Strategy Simplified S22E21: MBB Internship Recruiting Is Accelerating – Here’s How to Prepare
Internship recruiting for consulting is 3 months earlier than ever. March 29 is the first deadline (McKinsey, Bain, Oliver Wyman).
In this episode, former Bain consultant Maile Dyer breaks down the exact preparation strategy – from networking and resume positioning to digital assessments and case prep.
Instead of guessing what to do next, learn how to sequence your preparation so you peak at the right time.
You’ll learn:
- What to prioritize first in the MBB recruiting process
- How to network strategically (and actually increase your interview chances)
- What digital assessments like McKinsey Solve and Bain TestGorilla are testing
- A structured plan for case interview prep alongside classes
If recruiting timelines feel fast and overwhelming, remember: you don’t need to do everything at once – just the right things in the right order.
